polishing pedal cages

(1/4) > >>

Gish:
i have just got some black suntour xc II pedal cages in black which are scuffed & worn so i am planning on getting them polished up. so just wondering whats the best way to do this as i have never polished before so it will be my first time at it ::)

any info would be grateful  ;)

brummie:
i stuck mine in some ovenpride to get the rest of the black off then used wet and dry going through the grades
finally giving the go over with autosol  :daumenhoch:

Gish:
so on the edge of the pedal where it says suntour xc II japan that is marked scraped so will the wet & dry take it back to smooth  :idiot2:

the ends of mine wasnt too bad so i wanted to keep the stamping. if they are really bad i would use a file to tidy them up a bit  and then the wet and dry and polish. you could always use a powertool which would be quicker and would get a more mirror polished look

they are alloy so fairly soft. i got some end decals in black on clear for mine off del. il sent you a pic next week to show you

ive polished a set of xc11's and a set of mp1000's,the mp1000's were well beat up on the ends but plenty of rubbing with the wet and dry brought them back as good as new and i didnt loose any of the stamping.you gotta go pretty hard at it to lose any stamping i find :daumenhoch:
