All in it was about 16 hours of labour. Definitely worth it. Before and after pics, with a few components changes. super nice job Fleming 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just recently discovered the powers of autosol for finishing details on my motorbike.... But at the same time there is not a scratch off metal in the house that has not been brought to a shine with this stuff. Flipping brilliant product.

I've even used it to shine up some clear coat that was dulled from a rubbing frame bag. just for info...you can get autosol at any midas usually. i've even seen it at builders/outdoor warehouse on occasion. That reminds me....if you ever struggle to find Gorilla products...Outdoor warehouse keeps the full range...and cheaper than what some bike shops charge for tiny rolls.

Hairy Posted August 18, 2021 Share Starting to think the only thing better than a tube of Autosol is tub if Autosol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars1967 Posted August 19, 2021 Share I agree. My Honda Blackbird had rims that were partly painted with raw polished aluminium around the edges. Autosol is absolutely brilliant for that. They also have polish specifically designed for stainless steel and for anodised aluminium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
