How do you get the frame to look so much like chrome?? I just polished my first bike and the frame looks good but when light hits is directly it does not look as good. Also my chrome brackets are much shinier. Have I done something wrong? Or is it not possible to get the frame to look as good as the chrome pieces? I used Black Brown & White. I did not have much speed w/ my buffing as I only had a drill (1350 RPM). Will it make a difference if I use some air tools w/ 20000 RPM or so? Thanks...

CBzn3,
I think you have to have a speed of at least 3200 at the wheel to get good results. Find the polishing tutorial on this site and it gives you rpm speeds coupled with different wheel diameter's. I bought a 2500 rpm drill, that coupled with a 6" wheel meets the minimum requirements for polishing. An 8" wheel would give quicker results for your speed drill but you are still only looking at turning 2600 on a 1300 rpm drill. |
