Polishing fork lowers?
 
Evening all

Quick one for the org.
Whats the easiest way to polish up fork lowers, mine look a little tatty.
Also is it worth clearcoating or is that a waste of time

Thanks in advance
Andy

I did mine with a drill and polishing mop

Sv ones with autosol only

GSXR ones, started with sisal mop and then various grades of polish until a good sheen was achived, this included polishing out the machining marks on the GSXR uppers
