OK, how about the opposite....

Is there a way to reapply a clear coating after a part is highly polished, to protect the polished surface for several years?

I would find an auto paint store and ask there.At least you will know how to do it right.One of these years I will probably be asking the same question.

www.eastwoodco.com They make a clear for going over polished aluminum. I chose not to clear any of my polished parts. But I live in a low humidity area. Once polished I just shine them up on occasion with some Mother's aluminum polish.

I bought new circular Suzuki engine case emblems. What is the best way to remove the current emblems without marring the cases?

A heat gun or good blow dryer will do the job in short order.



Also for removing clear coat, I used acetone and fine bronze wool. It worked very well.
