Super impressive before and after. Nice work!
Look so good 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I never knew how a buffing wheel worked. That’s cool, thanks for teaching! Good video
Those before and afters look unbelievable!! But Great work bro!! And amazing video!!
Well done! That made a huge difference.
𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚖𝚘𝚜𝚖 😌
heyho,
cool video.
but.. My experience is that after half a year the surface is dull and oxidised. (it depends on type of aluminum).
the surface treatment is missing (Ex factory)
cheers
The only problem with sanding off the anodising is that the aluminium will oxidise quickly and will become dull quickly. It may also be attacked more by road salt and other solvents.
After the Simple Green on the chainrings anything else done to those specifically? TIA and great job on those crank arms !!!
Good job well polish back to it's glory thanks for the video a new learning😀👍
Mothers is the best but you have to put it on the cloth and vigorously polish with plenty of the cream and then wipe off . The best way to duplicate the original silver anodizing is to sand it smooth then clear coat with 2k clear. You’ll need to sand with progressively fine sand paper to 2500 in consistent linear motion because this will be the “look” of the surface
You're doing great job by saving the good old parts 😉👍
Nice vid! Question, in trying to get a mirror polish, is that just a matter of investing more time and doing the sanding steps in-between that you 'skipped'?
What size bolt circle is that?
BUT you don't describe in detail what the numbers mean!?😢
I love this kind of stuff. My very first attempt at doing something like this was a pair of old rusty 24in sears his and her bikes from the mid 80s. I learned a lot about sanding, buffing, various polishing compounds, etc to bring back those brilliant shines in the bright work. It was a ton of work but very satisfying once finished. I use the same mother's compound as well.
Just Beautiful!
Thank you
