That's great Gerry!

What # steel wool did you use?

The 0000 fine wool.

Only in America!! Down here our choices are with soap or without soap!! :smilie_happy:

Its been a month with lots of riding and the polished aluminium is holding up great! To get a mirror look at anytime, I just rub with that 0000 steel wool for a minute and right back to chrome finish!

Cool! No clearcoat?

That's a great way to do it. They sure look awesome afterward. Worth the effort!

Naw....too risky! I have read too many times that the over the counter clearcoats fail on polished aluminium. Apparently, there is a specific cleaning process and special clear coat for polished aluminium and it is not available via rattle can.

Good to know. The steel wool is easy enough, and it sure looks good!!
