Polishing Alloy

(1/4) > >>

YGT:
anyone got any tips, or recomend the best type of machinery for a lazy ol git  :LolLolLolLol:

revcore:
A buffing wheel should do the trick. But if you want to polish a frame then I would recommend a hand held Dremel polisher for the hard to get at sections but for the main sections use a buffer

ORB:
elbow grease

oberonspacefruit:
autosol.

Rombloke:
orb is right, a polishing wheel and a dremmel is a quick way to do it, i do have both, but always finish of by hand(fnar fnar), gives a great finish. work your way through the grits of wet and dry, till you get to somthing like a 1200 grit.
then, with a clean cloth go at it with autosol, then peek, then tcut, i always give my polished alloy a good coat of wax after too to try and stop it oxsidising(sp).
the results you can get by hand are amazing. ive polished lots of parts up this way, but most recently was a pro neck stem which i got from waxin, it wasnt looking too clever when i got it, but an hour or so's polishing i ended up with this......



good luck

Dave
