Chromed Carbs .. stripping the chrome off !
AshimotoK0:
Managed to bring one of JoJo's 750K0 carbs up to scratch. I have bead blasted the rest of his parts but the other three are down to him to polish now as I need to crack on with my own stuff. Proves you can remove the chrome and recover them to a decent standard...one in the eye for all of the Social Media Facebook experts who said I was wasting my time. Still a hint of copper but that should buff off.

Steve (JojoTut on here) who's carbs they are asked what I used after Prestige stripped the chrome and nickel but not all of the copper.
This is what I used to remove the remaining copper plating & give it a rough polish. Started out as 6 squares of el-cheapo green Scotchbrite on the arbor that you usually mount polishing mops on. Very forgiving and gets into the nooks & crannies really effectively. No need to cut out circles, they end up circular fairly quickly anyway and the setup lasts for ages before they wear down too small to use effectively. Polishing motor came out of the skip at work after we got flooded in 2013. It just needed new bearings.

Great job Ash! Like the idea of the scotchbrite squares, these mops are costly and don’t last long!
