Stem removing polished look advice

(1/4) > >>

Swivel:
Hi. I have 2 redline forklifter stems, both were polished (bought that way), this isn't correct for my factory spec masters so need to get these toned down. What would you recommend to use to get the finish somewhere close to the original finish?

Thanks,

Matt  :)

Chromo Buzz:
Have you thought about using scotchbrite(made by 3M)? Start off with the burgandy coloured one(the coarse one), then there's green & grey, cant remember which order they're in. Can be bought in B&Q i think, hope this help's :daumenhoch:

brummie:
Think stevep was good at this so maybe search one of his resto s
Matt. Think he did this on a pro neck using a stone or something

pickle:
leave it out in the garden for a month  ;)

Matt, I'm sure Dave is right. SteveP did a thread on this but it was a long time ago........ :-\

You could always drag it behind your motor next time you take a spin? We used to do that with new site jackets and crash-hats on site :idiot2:

Who will you get to do the work though fella? Surely those fairy liquid hands of yours would be best kept clean >:D :2funny:
