  • This is a difficult part to polish so Ive laid it out step by step with all the little tricks Ive learned over the years.Starting with a greasy oxidized part right thru the final polishing there should be some good info for everyone interisted in polishing anything made from aluminum.ENJOY AND SHARE.

    The End results are well worth it. Amazing. Nothing like a Chrome Swingarm. .

    that damn hard anodizing coat that the factory uses on the swing arm is hard to get off had to use some aluminum cleaner and oven cleaner but did not let it sit on for too long or it would of damaged the metal.

    when u finished all the work and u have this shinny result all u want its to preserve it, in such case i noted that wd-40 its the best wet,foam,or humidity repelant that u can use it literally makes the water drops and dust slide out firm the surface thats why wd40 its used in aeroplanes surfaces

    Hey what's up Windy. I have recently gotten into polishing a aluminum bmw m3 head I have. Now Im polishing other things like my ktm dirtbike swing arm. Have you ever thought about having a clear coat painted on the part you just polished to keep it from oxidizing?

  • @2strokemachines648
    @2strokemachines648 Před 8 lety +2

    Hey do you have to clear coat it afterwards to prevent it from oxidizing
