just finished polishing my engine covers, fairly pleased with them, also made a start on a fork leg which is coming on nicely but after several hours get a bit fed up!

And the colour was ?

Depends on what manufacturer makes the compound Ted. I don't have blue in the ones I use.

Oh Ken I thought it was you who posted me a link to Blue ?
It was confusing as the site seemed to say white was finer?

I get my polishing compounds from Bolgers, they don’t do a blue afaik. I use grey to get the initial finish, then white to mirror polish then finally green to add the lustre.
