GREMLIN:
I'll have to get somebody to do mine then.  One of my turbo stems is off to be rechromed, when i can be arsed to drive along to Poole, so i'll see if he will have a bash at polishing the bars up for me when i'm there.   ;)  Worth a try.     G.

sawzall:
i polished my leary stem too,i dont like chrome on alloy as you get oxidisation on alloy ,which is like a white powder that develops and it will lift the chrome i had a pair of chrome ukais that did after a couple of months of use :'(

GREMLIN:
I've heard about chroming over alloy before  ???   I've got the 1 turbo stem which is nicely polished up.  So the other i'm def thinking of rechroming.  Even if only for show use eventually.    :-\ 

oberonspacefruit:
get a polishing kit.

they fit on an ordinary drill.


you can get them from frost restoration i think, they do mail order.

you need the mops, and paste.

the chromers will polish the items first, before they chrome them, so iven if you are not happy with the results, you will have saved yourself some cash cos the chromers will have less work to do, plus they always come in handy for polishing anything bmx related, ali, steel, chrome...the lot.

GREMLIN:
Nice 1.  Thanx Oberon'.  Thanx Phil m8  :daumenhoch:
