I have a couple of weeks off from work so i decided to start polishing my wheels and stator cover. Ive polished wheels before so no big deal, just time consuming. The only reason im polishing my cover is because it was scratched by the previous owner. Thinking about doing the frame, but i dont know if i want to tackle something like that... here is what i have done so far.

Looks good!! My frame has some rash and thought about doing that but heard it was very time consuming. So what tools are you using in this process.

 

Aircraft stripper to get all the paint off the wheels and then i just clean up all the residue and start polishing the crap out of it. Mothers and a polishing pad. i use a drill with a pad on the end... your hand starts to get tired after awhile. as far as the stator i just started out with 80 grit to get all the rash out, then 180 so its some what smooth... then wet sand with 400 all the way to 1200. then repeat with mothers. looks pretty good i think here is a final pic of the cover and back wheel. front wheel ill save for tomorrow.








Gotta love the P Funks.... Parliament's for you non smokers

 

You should polish your garage floor, its looking pretty dirty

I think I might attempt something like that soon though, rims and cover looks really good

 

Haha thanks, ya the garage floor is next. I thought about stripes but i think ill just polish it. lol

 

Damn that looks reallyclean!! I'm going to tackle my stator and probably just do the lip of the rims to test my skills and the amount of work that goes into this.

 

Looks great! I'm in the process of polishing my rims as well. I'll post pics once I'm done too. Great job cory.

 

just polish the frame and swingarm too man that **** isnt as hard as u think

 

Thanks guys, Jzhales you got any experience with polishing the frame? what all do i have to take off to do it? Tank, plastics... what else?

 

looks good, but have fun keeping them clean [&:]
