Best way to polish a PK Ripper alloy frame????

[spadey99]

Hi guys

looked on tinternet at how to polish alloy but what do you lot think? I have different polishers and stuff, brown and blue bar cleaners and mops etc..... Isi t woth 0000 grade wire wool then mopping it with harsh compound? 

Any links etc or previous experience is appreciated..... Gona be a rider but want it to look sweet and shiny but not mirror finish.

i would say be careful around the welds until you know how soft/hard the alloy is or you could polish/smudge them away

They weren't polished BITD, just clean it and keep it original

Cheers guys...... Will get some pics up later and like bendy says, ive had great results with peek so maybe just stick with that but might have a play......

Yup keep it mat looking and not over polish it, and as mentioned before go easy on the welds

Ive got mine to do, im going to mask the welds then wet and dry the frame to remove scratches. Then polish up and then fine wire wool with oil. It brings back the non shiney finish, after that degrease and sticker up...........painting seems a better option though

Moza that sounds like a plan, tell me more on this process

Try Auto Glym Super Resin. Semi course but resins for shine.
