I second that, these are brilliant.

Until you remove most if not all of the ingrained crap and the lacquer which will still be on there you're really wasting your time trying to polish.
If you want to wait until the bikes off the road I'll do them for you Ted, like I did the speedo dishes. Unless of course you have some spare.
Tried those mops, not great IMO, far better things out there for Dremels.
Like these. I just bought £100 worth of these. They should last me for a year or so. Fit 2 or even 3 on a mandrel, there is a dot on the back of the disc, this goes towards the Dremel so the fronds are fitted the right way. The dark green is 80 grade, dark blue 120, red is 240. After that it goes 400, 600, 1000, 2500. The 400 and 600 are ok for alloy but only really for smoothing out the marks from the rougher colours.

Might have an experimental purchase of those Ken, especially if you rate em.

I do Roo, almost as good a the Dremel Speedclic ones but those are over £5 for one brush. Don't waste your time with one disc on a mandrel unless you are trying to access a tight area (which these are very good at BTW) use 2 or 3 on each mandrel (they are supplied as well). They've just gone up £1, I paid £10.99 on August 2nd for the same kit. I also bought 60 dark green and 60 dark blue as those are the 2 colours I use a lot.
I broke my Black and Decker workmate yesterday, bought it in 1979 and it's been heavily abused. One of the wood slats broke in 2 after I jammed an engine on it. I use the workmate as my stand for my buffing machine so I'll need to make a complete new top for it out of solid oak. Might be Wednesday before I start to buff the fork sliders for you, spent most of yesterday sanding them (with those discs I may add) before flatting them with wet and dry. One is already done and one just needs to be done. I remembered you wanted the internals out of the 550F forks as well didn't you. Need to find a box long enough now.
Laverdaroo:
Good advice, thanks mate.
An order has just been placed. Are the dark green and dark bblue the most abbrasive or the ones that last the longest with effect?
