Stem removing polished look advice
double chevron:
Forkliters are polished but not shiny if that makes sense.
So if you're restoring one that means skipping the last step of buffing.
If want to go backwards, Rob's advice sounds about right
Step away from too hard stuff or brushed effect. It's perfect on a pro Neck not a Redline.
Best bet would probably be sand it with the finest grade you can find and maybe repolish it lightly, without buffing.

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:

I've used mega fine (cant remember grade) with oil in the past to dull down, worked a treat! :daumenhoch:

Let me know how you get on Matt. I have a scuffed and scratched stem base. I was going to polish the marks out as it's easier and quicker than going through various grades of paper. I was thinking of asking SBD to dip it in his stripping soloution to dull it and then just use autosol.
