POLISHING HELP

[fstAZfk]

Why dont we have a thread which gives a run down w/ pics on the process of polishing the frame/wheels? I would really appreciate if we could get something like this posted up as a sticky or something. Oh yea... all the necessary parts and where to get them would also help.

thanks guys

alright dont everybody jump at once!

From what i understand, i need some aircraft paint remover which i can purchase from autozone or advance. Is that correct?

Then i want to follow up with blue magic polish applied with a rotary tool, hopefully my dremel will work.

Above is all i know for polishing the rims. Does the same apply to the frame?

Oh yea.. and with the paint remover... how am i going to want to apply this stuff.. i am assuming that it is not a sort of paste, so its not going to adhere to the wheel. I assume rather that it is a liquid which is "somewhat" evaporative and is applied with a sponge or cloth of some sort. And would rubber gloves be recommended.

I am going to attempt the wheels with the bike sitting on the side stand. I dont have bike stands nor can i drop the cash to get some. So i am expecting a good weekends worth of work here.

If anybody has any other advice for the rims.... OR THE FRAME!!!!!!! please please please chime in. I did a search and came up with a few topics on the... topic... but am looking for some fresh info!

THANKS AGAIN GUYS! in advance of coarse.

oh yea.. i do have a cordless drill... what do i need as an attachment?

 

[fstbusa]

you can buy a buffing attachment at an auto store. It will be some kind of round cloth pad you put compound on.
