ooooooo, they're shiny....take you long??

27-07-08, 03:29 PM

not really that long we put the bar keepers on then cleaned the rest of the bike....then went back took it off and autosol with wet and dry with took about 10mins.

So with cleaning the bike as well took about 2 hours if that.

Plus got my hands dirty (which is a first for me and drew said i had to help) cleaning my chain!

mwahaha some more folks for the shiny downpipe gang.

mmmm chains, hate that job, always manage to get black gunk all up my arms!!

Glad the Barkeepers friend worked...you do know you'll get OCD now and want to polish everything with autosol....lol

How did you get them shiney again?

Drew Carey · 27-07-08, 07:01 PM

Its easy (thanks to Dizzy B).

Began by getting Bar Keepers freinds. You put in a pot, add water and make it into a thinkish paste.

Next, slap it all over the downpipe all the way down. Next, go and chill out, make a coffee, clean other parts of the bike or just stare into the sky.....I left ours for about 20 minutes on Lilys and about half an hour on mine.

Next, get a cloth and the BKF will have hardened, wipe it off, its like chalk.....next, grab some coarse wet and dry.......add autosol and sand until the autosol creates a paste and you start to see it going shiny. Wipe off the autosol. If it is still dull and grey / blackish.....keep going. Kept doing this until it was all clear metal. Next I used fine wet and dry....finally......autosol and wire wool to finish.

Once done, just then buff with a cloth.

Thats how we did it anyway. Each bike from start to finish on downpipe only took bout 35 minutes work....but well worth the shiney ness.
