Best way to polish old engine sidecovers any ideas??????
I hope someone has the answere to my question other wise my friend has voluntarily submited his request to polish my sidecovers for a case of corona. He took the clutch cover in another room and came back out five minutes later and showed me a spot on the cover he worked on. And it looked new and shineythere was no blemishes at all on the area he worked on and this cover sat outside in a junkyard for years. And he wont give up his secret. Any help would be appreciated so I can save the corona for myself LOL.Tags: None

he is willing to polish all your cases for a case of beer
anyone so willing to take advantage of themselves should not be stopped
polishing usually entails stirrping the clear coat and wet sanding for badly corroded cases then buffing on a wheel with sevral grades of buffign compound
it take a long time and well good heavens for a case of beer I would buy two and drink and watch while he did it for you.

You know polishing without beer and a buddy is like fishing without beer and a buddy. Thats a win win for you.Last edited by Guest; 06-17-2008, 10:07 AM.

Most of the clearcoat is gone and what ever he did was done by hand so im not sure what his secret is. Ive got sometime before I hand the project off to him as im still looking for a leftside engine cover

Yeah, And Corona Isn't Even Great Beer!
As an expatriate of the great city of El Paso, I can tell you that Corona is the Iron city beer of Mexico. Yeah, really. It's no big thing, and if he's really a BUDDY of yours, why stiff him?

It's only Corona, so if he wants to drink it, I would give him the beer to save myself the grief of polishing them myself.

It's a lot easier to make one little spot look good as opposed to making an entire piece look good. If he's willing to do the work for a case of beer, go for it. It took me HOURS of sanding and polishing to get the results I did on my bike. Just make sure you are happy with his results.Last edited by renobruce; 06-17-2008, 11:45 PM.
