Wish I could blow the pics up for a close up look but they won't allow it.

Buy yourself a 8" felt buffing wheel Roo, use that with the grey soap, it's quicker than using a stitched wheel and tends to give brighter results.

The damage around the screw hole, on the raised section that surrounds the hole can be removed by using those discs, just some light movements of them until they go away.

Did you find that folding thing on the very bottom edge? No idea why it's there but must be a moulding thing.

That's a very satin looking finish you've got on the back cover, was that deliberate?

A mixture of 'crap light' and greasey fingers followed by a wipe with a cloth, not as clean as you'd hoped.

I've got the 8" solid wheel and been usng that but with the white soap after using the grey with the harder mop to get rid of the plastic wheel marks which got rid ofthe emery wheel marks.
I was kind of hoping the cover screw would hide those marks around the hole but youre right. I'll give em another go. Looking at the piccies I didn think they looked as good as I thought. I'd lost the will to live a bit at that point (Hence my PM ;D) so gave it a rest until better light conditions tomorrow. Been on at them for about three hours.

Yeah, mine had the weird bit along the bottom, I thought it was a big ding until I'd cleaned them up a bit.

So chain and sprockets today .......

I must say it went pretty well - and I also swopped the swingarm again for the one I took off that had the needle bearing upgrade .... after it had been powder coated

Added Ken's cam end caps and dipstick which really lift the bike - also show up the less than perfect casings ::)

So I think I'll take that as a win
