True polishing for true Bling Bling!

those LED's look sweet as shit with all the heat marking from welding... you aren't going to polish them are you?

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

Try 0000 steel wool and the yellow can WD40 to clean them up. Then brake clean them off and use the master formula sealer.

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.

 

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.

If you do all this to shitty chrome does it remove the chrome? Do you still need to seal it if the pipes were chrome?

How much to do my pipes ? You could start a business here
