Shining Tips (Aluminum)

[atctim]

Tonight I decided to polish up the top triple tree clamp and boy what a difference. I will be doing my front forks soon too. If you polish aluminum enough - it will eventually look like chrome as you will see in this post. Tools you'll need: A polisher - buffing compound - and TIME. We have mounted a Wheel on the edge of our work bench and hooked it to a motor with a belt. It spins at about 3500 RPMs. Heres a picture of the buffing wheel and compund I used:

and the compound:

And now some before and after pictures. The pictures don't really do it justice, but you get the point:

About 2 hours later this is what she looked like:
