RENTHAL HANDLEBARS
« on: February 02, 2007, 06:36 PM »
I have got a pair of Renthal handlebars that could do with a damn good polish, whats the best way to do this. I have tried Autoglym metal polish but this has made no difference. I haven't got access to a polishing wheel or anything like that.  :D

Are they annodised silver?  If so you may need to strip them using oven cleaner and then a bit of elbow grease with Peek or Autosol, if not just plenty of elbow grease and Autosol  :daumenhoch:
