Default Re: Repolishing questions

vector18,

You didn't say when you originally polished your bike that you took it down to bare aluminum, not just polishing the factory finish. The factory finish normally has a clear coating over the aluminum! I think what has happened is that you have to much polish on it and its starting to look hazy and dull. Try washing it with hot water and Dawn dish washing liquid then re-polish as you normally do and see what happens. The heat created by the mechanical polishing causes the polish to melt into the finish. That could be the reason that it looks hazy and dull.
