True polishing for true Bling Bling!

Fuck no. I just want to prevent them from rusting. I keep the oiled up with WD40, but something more permanent would be nice.

Lot of this in the machinery industry.

Ok, shitty FMF's that were on a muddy machine that burnt up, 10 years ago.... I just did one section first for the thread.

First, since these are/were chrome I tried to cut them with an aggressive wheel and black emery cake to see how bad they actually were.8umadape.jpg

They definitely needed some sand out. So 220 it is. All the way to 1000 grit.

Now back to the wheel. Black cake and spiral sewn hard wheel. First cut is progress.

Next is brown cake on the next to medium spiral sewn.

Now we move to the firm/soft wheel with white tripoli.

Ok, they're lookin' pretty good, but the real shine comes with the red rouge. Lots of time and remember to keep the wheel red with compound.

Throw some finishing polish at it for the real luster.

Here's the difference. Notice how you can see the difference in the chrome's texture on the unfinished section. Very similar to the cheap chrome or nickel on shearers. Now you know how to fix it.
