Hi Griff

You could go on flea bay and purchase a 100mm polishing wheel to attach to a drill ....link below........

Then go to Screwfix and purchase a Polish Bar (like a bar of soap), they do various grades soft to harsh.

Worked o.k for me on a seat post and some bars  :)

Hope this helps.

thanks guys for all the advice, trouble is I'm not sure which advice to take now so thought it would probably be best if I just took some pics so you can see what they look like (I know you like looking at bike bits anyway  :D)

i'm also trying not to buy any more stuff that doesn't work, after buying a tin of brasso and rubbing for nearly 3 hours I only managed to clean them up a bit - none of the swirly scratch marks have gone  :(

here's what they look like with the flash off

and here they are with the flash on - looks a bit worse tbh as it really highlights the scratches, but at least you can see what I'm trying to get rid of





bearing in mind I've never done polishing before and the value of the bars, what do you reckon I should do?

cheers

They look like they were sanded before they were powdered mate, not sure if you can polish that out, might go through the chrome to the base plating.

Someone else will have more experience and better advice though

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN:
not going to polish that out sorry to say  :-[

some hard work polishing may cover it a bit - but will never get it all out / polished down

looks like a sand down before powder - so any chance just to powder again ?
