they are not smooth enough, you would have to fine wet and dry them then polish out

There is a finer Autosol to use for mirror finishes in addition to the general metal polishing one. ____________________ I must not be a troll...

PM craigs123 (i think thats the user name), but his now departed honda 400 was a mirror on wheels. If he can't help you, then there's no justice in the world.

Cheers for the recomendation Jack
Check your Mail Box 125pow., I replied to your query.
Looks like you're stuck with the standard 'casted' finish of the hanger - this needs to come off if you want a mirror shine. Not sure if wire wool is tough enough to do this - wet'n'dry would be.
Try a 400 grit to see if it'll take off the moppled finish - if not, try a 350 or 280. Then work back up - 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 1500 - then polish using Autosol, then Brasso, (use dusters or microfibre) then finally Belgom Alu (using tissue (I've yet to find a cloth light enough for a scratchless finish (microfibre was good, but not fantastic). |
