Syco,
My first attempt at polishing the gas tank on my bike wasn't too great. I tried using sanding discs on a drill, way too many swirls and some areas (concave surfaces) are quite difficult to get a 4" disc into. I don't think a palm sander will work on the concave surfaces either because it is flat also. Am I struck with doing it the older fashioned way (sanding completely by hand) before using the wheels/compounds? |

ok i dont have a bench grinder nor do I have an air compressor. I think it is just overkill and heavy to buy a grinder to polish a motorcycle frame...so what kind of tool do you recommend to me? I have an 19v cordless drill but it only spins at 1350 rpm.....my motorcycle frame is made out of aluminum....what tool should i get? maybe an angle grinder? or how about those buffers you use to wax your car? any sugggestions?! thanks!

O.k, so I finally got motivated to polish my bike frame. But was lazy in the fact of masking areas that the cleaner should not have been able to get on. I now have areas on the frame that are not protected with anodize due to the cleaner and I can't get to in order to polish.... Any one have input on what to do on my course of action, because those areas are just plain ugly as hell now too........I'm thinking wire wheel on a DREMEL tool, bad or good idea? Anyone?
