    Default Show aluminum polish

    I have a motorcycle which almost every aluminum part has been sanded and then polished to a mirror finish. Whats the best method to maintain a mirror finish?

    Wenol? Mothers?

    Thanks..

    I like and have used Mother's for years. I am looking at Zoop though for longer "in between times" for cleaning.

    Iv heard thats good stuff the zoopseal. Might be difficult on the bike though. a masking nightmare. And removing it is a project when it peels or turns yellow.

    I wonder how good the Liquid WHITE ROUGE polish caswell sells is.

    I'll tell you tomorrow. My aluminum polishing kit should be in today. It has the rouge polish in it.

    I honestley could not tell a difference between the rouge and Mothers. I polished half of the rocker arm with rouge and half with Mothers. It looked the same to me.

    Thanks.

    Iv heard Wenol works just as well. But lasts longer. Expensive though.
