It's All Kwak's Fault........yeah, more polishing stuff! - SV650.org

I've just gone and bought a swing arm off e bay, with the intention of seeing if I can polish it up myself. It's all Kwak's fault...........all this talk about polishing stuff has got me even more obsessed than normal. Still, the swing arm only cost me £15 delivered, so a small price to pay to fuel my obsession I think.

Me personally would polish it and then get it clear coated cause it will be a bitch to repolish once on the bike! Will look good though

well done lissa!! can i take all the credit when it looks like a silver dollar bolted to the back of your beautiful sv? have you tryed those proper polishing kits from HG for £18?

No, I haven't seen those Kwak. What's in em?

2 polishing wheels and soap and a polish stick, surposed to go along way and make the job quicker by using a power drill.

Ah, right, got ya.

I already have loads of mops and compounds that I can use either with my polishing wheel or with a flexible drive attached to a drill. They certainly take a lot of blood, sweat and tears out of polishing work. Wouldn't be without mine, that's for sure.

If you're thinking of trying those, I can recommend them.
