Well, I decided to break down and try to Polish the rims on my 600RR. It worked out pretty well, So I decided to share a few pictures for those who have an RR and are interested. I didnt think there was a need to do yet another write up, but I am gonna post some pictures.

PS (Airplane Cleaner BURNS on the skin, lol)





I post a few more once I get it outside tomorrow.

 

Looks nice. I didn't know DID made rim polish. I thought they did Chains. Haha just messing with ya. How long did it take you?

 

About 3 hours from taping to finishing.

 

did you take the rim off of the bike or did you leave them on..

 

Left them on. I did it from spoke to spoke at a time on each side. So 3 sections in all on front and back

 

I'm way too lazy for that, but it looks dope. Good job.

 

I was reading your thread and really liked the look of your rims...

So I got a wild hair up my *** and here the results.

It's not perfect and pleasekeep thisin mind thatthe rim is off a 20 year old CBR600F1.

The rim has somecasting flaws and some really deep scratches that I was not able to remove with out digging deep into the aluminum.

I am sure a professional polisherwould be able clean them up, I am not a professional aluminum polisher so please keep this in mind..
