Polishing

Mon Feb 04, 2013 10:20 pm » Post: #1 » Download Post

Hi All

I have some scratches on my frame, I have tried Autosol but can't get the deep scuffs to polish out. I have stripped the motorcyle down and have the frame and swinging arm ready for full polish.

Can anyone recommend a company to polish my frame.

Thanks.

The frame is anodized and is too hard for polishing, needs to be stripped with oven cleaner or other corrosive first.

Have you considered getting the frame re-anodized?

It looks much better in my opinion and will have a much more durable, non scratch surface that won't corrode or require maintenance like polishing will.

to re-anodize you first have to strip the existing finish, that will etch the surface and it will become matte, after that you will have to polish and then put on the "mill" finish before re-anodizing, seems like a lot of work....

Thanks Lane/Dmitry

The frame numbers will still be visible after the anodising process?.
I will have a look for some local companies now, any ideas what I should pay for anodising the frame.
