Front forks question ?

<< < (3/3)

waffey:
i used my bench grinder using some abrasive disc's then a polishing mop with auto sol. They come up ok, I didn't plan to get all the large dents out.

SeanFD:
^ I did the same.

As a novice polisher, I think it came out pretty well!

This is as far as I have got with fork polishing after 30 minutes.
10 minutes with 240 grit W& by hand.
10 minutes with 1200 grit W&D by hand.
5 minutes with Solvolautosal by hand.
5 minutes with Solvolautosol with drill mounted buffing mop.

Still need more polishing but very pleased with the time invested - I'm guessing its diminishing returns from here.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Not as good as Seans yet but I'm surprised at the improvement in such a relatively short space of time.

SeanFD:
You are getting there.

I invested in a kit from these guys - https://www.metalpolishingsupplies.co.uk

With a bit of practice I got the result I showed you; I can recommend it.
