coop Posted March 6, 2014 Share #1 Posted March 6, 2014 Hey Guys, Does anyone here provide a polishing service? I wouldn't want to take any ones gig away so I want to ask first. If not I may want to offer the service here. Give me some feedback and if there is some interest I will get some ballpark pricing together over the next week or so. Here's an idea of the quality of work I am talking about. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a385/bobn/CopyofDSC01696.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncledj Posted March 6, 2014 Share #3 Posted March 6, 2014 I'd like to see such a service offered by a member. As long as prices are fair, I prefer to deal with a member before going elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigLenny Posted March 6, 2014 Share #4 Posted March 6, 2014 Where did you get that wheel chromed? That is a Venture/RSTD wheel, isnt it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragtop69gs Posted March 6, 2014 Share #5 Posted March 6, 2014 That wheel looks great! I'd be interested. Is the wheel sealed in any way after polishing ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonslayer Posted March 6, 2014 Share #6 Posted March 6, 2014 I had a bunch of parts (Handle bars and motor covers)professionally polished on my 1st gen to get the yellowed varnish off. It made a big difference. But, Then you do have to wax them to keep them from oxidizing and going back dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coop Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share #8 Posted March 7, 2014 hey guys, that wheel is polished not chromed.... the black spokes were sanded smooth then the whole wheel polished. That would be an example of the quality of workmanship. no sealing would be done.... you could however clear the part, A little maint is required... just a hand polishing every year or 2. That of course is if the bike is kept in a garage. that wheel was done aprox 5years ago. It's been hand polished twice. I don't have a close up available at the moment but here's a picture of my bike and the wheel hasn't been touched in over a year. Hmmmm really hard to see it....I'll see if I have a recent close up tomorrow Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yammer Dan Posted March 8, 2014 Share #13 Posted March 8, 2014 We just use Mothers Chrome & Aluminum polish on our rides, Nothing But the Best:thumbsup2: Now you know I wouldn't pick at anybody but have you tried the old Turtle Wax Chrome Polish??? This stuff is hard to beat. I've used the Mothers but it seems it came in second or third when I was doing a bunch of old parts. The Turtle Wax Chrome stuff cuts away rust and crud. Those wheels would take a little more than that... I have a good extra wheel.....I could do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coop Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share #14 Posted March 8, 2014 Hey Guys.... Ok looks like we have some interest. I'll get some pricing together over the next week or so.....I have a lot of things going on right now. Yes Aluminum parts.....s/s can be done as well. I've attached a piece I made (Radiator Cap Cover) to match my pulley's on my show truck. This was just air craft aluminum.... machine turned / milled....then polished out..... you can see yourself in it. Yammer....that stuff is great for polishing up some old chrome. This involves wet sanding from 400 down to 1000 / 2000 grit and polishing using large bench mounted buffers and different grades of rouge. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a385/bobn/Rear%20Bed%20Build/Engine%20Bay%20Build/2010_1215Breaker0023.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
