What do you guys use to shine up your stock swing arms and other unpolished metal parts?

 

well I know my bike's swingarm is steal..so it rusts so you cant polish it but any aluminum you can buy polish at your local home depot it comes in a black container and a red container. The black one is used to take out any divets the red is to polis to a shine....I used an air dremel with a polish wheel on it and my rearsets,tripletree,and everything else I did came out excelent!! Hope this helps Ohhh you can also use an electric dremel!!

 

yea i didnt know my swingarim was steel and now i polished off some of the paint that was on it... sucks

 

I used the pro honda spray and that usually works well. You could get the polish b thats made by Mother's. It comes in a little red jar with a white top. clean the area and dry it. then apply the polish and allow it to sit for 5min. then take a clean soft towel and clean off the frame.

 

You can also use a product called Plexus. It will take off all grit and grime and will not hurt the finish. I've been using this stuff on all kinds of stuff for almost a year with no ill affects. It's easy to use also.

 

Sandpaper, Time, Elbow Grease. 100 grit all the way to 2500, then this crap they sell at home depot it comes in a little tube its a bunch of colored crayon lookin things that have different grits, and a buffing wheel that goes with them that fits on a drill, i did my swingarm in about 5 hours, it looks ok, i was just bored tho. my frame i did after i wrecked because i couldnt ride and i was hurt so i spent 40+ hours on it and it looks amazing

 

i use mothers carnauba wax on the fairings, it comes out SHINY!!!! i use a leather wipe on the seat once in a while, it helps me slide back down from the gas tank when im up on it.. plus it gives it a nice shine for a little

 

Hey people, what's up? I'm fairly new to the forum, so please, just bear with me. There's a Honda Powersports dealership in my town, and I practically live there. My best friend is the service manager, blah-blah-blah. Honda came out with this fairly new "all-around" polish called, Honda Glare Professional Polish. You can use it on your fairings, swingarm, EVERYTHING! I personally think that the stuff works great. If you get a chance, try that stuff out.

 

good tip, i think im gonna see if the dealer around me has it in stock!! thanks man

 

Yeah, not a problem. Depending on where you go, it'll probally run you somewhere between $15-$30. I'm pretty blessed, lol, I'm their product(s) tester.
