I have been building custom Harleys for the last 20 years and always sent my parts to a shop to get chromed.I just rebuilt the motor on my friends son's shovelhead and his rocker boxes looked rough.He didn't want to spend 3 or 4 hundred bucks to get them chromed so we looked for someplace local to polish them.We found two guys that said they did polishing but one never returned any calls after we called him about 6 times in two weeks and the other guy said he would look at them but never called back either.I ask the owner at the local machine shop if he knew anyone that polished metal and he said no and that people ask him almost every week if he knew someone that polished car manifolds and he has to tell them no.I figure since there seems to be a big demand around where I live and no one to do it ,I might as well start my own business.The question I have is what is the best buffer to buy for aluminum polishing.I thought I heard somewhere i should buy a 1800 rpm for aluminum or a 3600rpm one for stainless.It seems to me I should get the 3600 rpm one so i could do both since they cost the same but I will be doing 90% aluminum polishing and I am worried that a 3600 rpm one might burn the metal.What do you recommend?
