need help!! have sanded all down to 600 grit---polished out using every method i can devise or have read on this site---- i still get a burn or haze effect in the end....but this is only in certain areas=---others are shining up perfect--can't figure out.....
i got my heel guards finished and they are acceptable---i used black/spiral, then brown/spiral, then white(bar)/ soft wheel and blue magic polish with toilet paper---turned out great..... then to frame and swingarm---same process results with this burn or haze at certain angles---but when you look directly into from a couple inches away--i can see my pretty face perfect!! but as we know--nobody else will be up that close,, you see the bike from a distance and can see this haze.....so i decided to switch things up--cleaned up and re-sanded with 600 grit to remove(hopefully) all residue/wax, polish and began to polishe with brown/spiral, then tried white rouge(liquid)/soft, then blue magic--still hazey then tried brown/spiral, red/spiral and red/soft, then wenol polish--still not better...... have about lost it----took swingarm and sprayed down with oven cleaner again cause i thought it had to be a build-up of all of the top combinations used-----i am going to start over and try again, but before i do----are there any suggestions-----one other thought i had was instead of using oven cleaner, spraying simple green over areas that are hazy to get rid of this haze--would this work ?? need some help asap---trying to get bike together before i move for florida--this is holding up my paint job!! |

just one more quick thought or question---i went back and refreshed through polishing 101----when he says wipe off as to not contaminate the next wheel-----what do you use----i have been using simple green and water mixture---should i skip the water and use simple green by itself or something else---maybe this is my problem
![]() may buy new wheels and start over fresh---- polishing 101 says: black, then brown, then red, then white-----guess i haven't used this one yet---i have been leaving out one or the other----but i gotta figure that burn is coming from something ![]() ![]() |
