A New Method For Polishing Aluminum Forks
Well looks like I came up with a much faster way to polish a set of motorcycle forks. I try out some new compounds with the use of a buffer to get the aluminum to shine like chrome. Check it out!

I’m working on some 1975 GT 250 forks that have probably never been polished in 47 years. The oxidation was horrible but I finally got that shine using multiple techniques. I tried scotch brite pads, steel wool, with metal polish, wet sanded, used rubbing compound and used drill and buff pad to do final. Took me 5 hours on one fork. (Hard to get in tight spots). Anyway the moral of the story is “if your aluminum is bad there is no “easy” way to get this done but in the end it’s worth it. 👍

I just did mine. Used 120 grit plumbers cloth in a roll. Makes easy work to get around the tubes. Did the same reducing them grit as I went up. Came out pretty good on my 32 year old 1991 FXRS.

If you have a 6" buffer or smaller one and the same compounds it makes quick work of them. Of Course if you need to sand or do some prep work that takes a good amount of time but it's all in the prep as I think you know. Take care and god bless friend. Also let me know how they turn out if you can.

I found this video to be an excellent instruction and thanks for putting it together. I do have one question... What pad are you using on your buffer when you apply the mirror cutting compound? Is it a buffer pad? I couldn't tell from the video sound...anyone? Thanks...

Polishing pad. Click link in description. First pad that shows up on the list.

@@TechnMoto Thanks, will do.. I'm cleaning up the aluminum lowers on a 1996 Dyna Wide Glide... the clear coat was discolored and very pitted, but with wet dry sandpaper levels 400 through 3000 I have managed to clean and shine them pretty good, and I can't wait to see what they look like after applying the cutting compound and aluminum polish.

Will this work if I started with a wire wheel?
@TechnMoto
@TechnMoto 3 года назад
Would not recommend using a wire wheel. Sandpaper and elbow grease. Start with something like 400 and work your way up to 1000 grit or higher to remove any blemishes or corrosion on the aluminum before polishing.
