brought this in from the states a while ago and its sat in the loft ever since, was gonna sell it but changed my mind so a survivor/rider build is now starting (needed somthing to do while i wait for the ACE to come back from the chromers)
it was corroded and green when i started, so a bit of hard work and this is how it looks part way through, all done by hand :daumenhoch:
how it was

i've been using a polish called "Mothers" it comes frome the states and is mainly used on classic cars and custom cars :daumenhoch:
-
Love it
Lee

I've got some Peek, do ya reckon that'll do it ??? ???

peek seems good to finish off with but its not abrasive enough to get the crap off, solvo auto sol is too abrasive, mothers is in between :daumenhoch:

think that must be it in the first picture lee under the frame.
-
the Mothers polish i have is really ment for ali but works fine on chrome, you can get one that is just for chrome though :daumenhoch:
as far as i know it is not available in the UK, i got mine from the USA :daumenhoch:
-
Love these resto threads, get polishing Mr delray! :daumenhoch:
-
Don't forget your frame is nickel so ally polish is probably better for it Andy.
Looks good mate, I love a survivor early Goose build ;-)

Nothing like polishing a goose :coolsmiley:
-
Nice, I really fancy one of these as a frameset :daumenhoch:
-
Looking good Andy :daumenhoch:

-
Nice, I really fancy one of these as a frameset :daumenhoch:

-

-
