Polishing silver parts
double chevron:
Not sure what you're talking about here, do you have chrome plated DC brakes or silver ones (clear anno'd) or even stripped ones (bare alloy)? You won't be needing the same stuff
I read chrome in your title then silver in the subject. You'll need to strip them first cos polishing anno never blinded anyone so far.

It was Anno, hence the oven pride, then some wet and dry to get all that shite off it, if you rub the over pride through the bag if your parts are anno it will come off straight away and not go like mine did, then get some polishing clay and a drill mop and go to town, if the Anno comes straight off, a light polish will having it looking like mine in a hour or so....
Mine was pitted to fook as the Oven Pride ate the alloy :( but plenty of time got me to a shiny finish.
GavinDavis:
Thats a great finish! I have to admit....it does take a while to polish bits up!

My mx1000's and tech3's look like they have been stripped already,so I'm guessing they are bare alloy,will have to ask al wyn who I got them off if they have been stripped.so polishing with the clay and a mop will get these right?don't have any of these items so would I be best buying one of them sets gavindavis was on about on eBay?can I use the mop with my makita?
GavinDavis:
Yep, thats the kit you need bud :daumenhoch:
Brown clay first, then blue to finish.
I used a polishing head with brown clay with my drill to start with (small amounts at a time or else you will get horrible clay residue), then I used a fresh polishing head in my dremel with the blue clay at around 1500rpm.
I found its best to really work the brown stuff in until you get a near minty finish.....then attack it with the blue :)
