Bfellows:
Bit of advice - buy 6" polishing mops rather tha 3 or 4"......... lot easier on the hands and you're less likely to loose any digits.

i got by grinder etc delivered the other day but wasnt paying attention and it was a jewellery polishing one i ordered lol so do they all come out like mirror finishes with you's

BMX1973:
The finish depends how much time you spend polishing. Be careful not to polish out any stamping.  :daumenhoch:


+1 on the drill.

ive ordered more mops and got the wax bars delivered earlier,could be doing with a more powerful grinder though any pressure on it and it stops

oldschoolib:
easiest way is fit cone to drill then put the drill in a bike stand thats adjustable that way you can move all around while  your polishing, be carefull though i did a sprocket once and it caught and
hit me in the head, nothing wrong with a bit of blood for the love of old bmx  :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:
