Thanks for all the advice everyone...... I'm trying to muster the courage to start on one of the wheels. If I'm gonna do it, I need to start soon, as Spring is near and riding will get in the way of polishing. I think, with a few creatively made up polishing cloths, I can maintain the resultant shine without too much fuss, though I'm a bit concerned that the brake dust will cause me some frustration and some regular polishing to keep things looking good. Not unlike now really, though with the finish that is currently on these wheels I don't worry much about a little dirt and brake pad residue.
Has anyone polished their brake disks? What did you use on those? I'm told the disks are stainless, but I'm not certain of that, since that would seem an incredibly pricey material for a brake disk. Any advice? My disks are actually in two pieces. There is a small inner disk, with the actual brake disk surrounding that one.... if that makes any sense. The inner section appears to have some sort of coating on it. Powder coat? Anodize? I have no clue.
Anyway, for a newbie, this is going to be quite a job! I'm a bit intimidated
. I figure I'd start with the front wheel and brake disks, since I'm going to be installing some new progressive fork springs soon anyway.... may as well remove the wheel and give things a go. Maybe I'll just start with those brake disks
