How to polish aluminium to Mirror Finish. RM 125 build. 

I admire that level of determination.

Holy smokes! That is amazing. I would have never thought you could get a mirror finish like that. Awesome job!

The amount of work that went into this swing arm is phenomenal! Now you make me wanna do mine even tho she’s getting PowderCoated 🔥

No way! Amazed by the result and the PATIENCE.

Wow mate looks unreal. Alot of hard yakka gone into that. Brings back memories of when i sanded and polished my header pipe 😂😅🤣

That belongs in a museum now lol 😂 amazing job.

wow!!!!! that looks mint!!! you have sooooo much patience

Another satisfying video mate! Well done. That’s another 10hp right there 😉

Holly smokes! That's genious! Ill gry to achieve similar effect on my KTM 620 adventure. Great work

That's one nice lookin swing arm! Keep up the good work mate👍

That came up sweet Steve, very nice job

I just polished vtr1000 swingarm !! Tip to remove the coating is to use oven cleaner - the strongest one and it works a treat👌

Looking good!!!! It's amazing what a lot of elbow grease and time can do.

Wow. It just makes me think of having to do chain block cover, break cover and prob rear break master pedal an kicker to match.... Unreal job

Looks fresh mate done a quality job.

This bikes going to look amazing good job 😎👍

Jeez, that came out well, nice job! 👍👍

Wow!! That turned out amazing.

In an earlier vid, I thought that swingarm had been repaired - welded on, guess I was wrong - sorry. That looks too nice, it's going to be a showpiece!

might do it on my rm125 too!

Wow what a transformation. What is the little triangle polishing tool on your Dremel ? And what was that metal polish? I feel like I need the exact same materials for this job lol

Nice job. I'm gonna do my 96 CR500 tomorrow. Wonder how hard it will be to keep it shining. I was rocking

They are anodised from factory in Japan Sand out imperfections and re-anodise if able to, or weld and sand if deep gouged and then ceramic clear 👍🏼

Looks good

Jesus that looks amazing

Great job mate

holy shit thats amazing

This is by far the hardest part of the build. I’m having a heck of a time getting the inside (tire side) of the arm, with all of the high and low spots. Any tips on how you pulled it off. All by hand?

Bonkers 🔥🔥🔥

Wow, great video.... new subscriber mate 🇦🇺👍🏻

looks great 👍

Hi mate ,well I fallowed your steps and I even went to 7000 grit and it looks like a mirror now .my question for you is how to protect it I'm not to happy with clear coat as it can chip so I'd like to wax it with meguiar's ultimate Wax , what is your opinion on this . Fantastic work and thanks if it wasn't for you I'd not have done it .

Dang mate niiiiiice job 👌👌

Can you make a list of the tools and sanding material you used?

Done well mate

Nice work! How many hours did you have in this polish job? How hard has the upkeep been?

Now that's how you polish aluminium. Is this going to be a show bike or what?

What type of benchtop buffer wheel thing is that? I find buffer ones but with only soft disks on there not ones that have a harder buffing pad on it to get a good finish

What polish did you use?

It turned out really nice I'm interested to know if you're going to try to do at home DIY powder coating I think they call it cerakoting

what is the substance you are applying to make it shiny?

Nice job Steve. You do know ot will get dirty on the first ride, right?

Looks good! Is it scratched yet?

Let me ship my swingarm to u bro I need it polished

Hi mate , I'd just like to say you did a fantastic job on that swingarm , can I ask you a question , I messed up and started with 120 grit to get all the agonising off , I then went to 320 and 400 on am on 600 now but I can still see the bloody scratches from the 120 as I understand now vi should not have went so low , how can I get them out , is it just by going back to say 220 and up to 320 and so on ?. Any help would be much appreciated . I understand I might have a job on my hands now but just would like to know if I can still get it smooth . Cheers pal. Keep up with the great video's . Dylan

Wassup Man do you know where i can buy the exact same buffing wheel?

Explain the process a bit more as you go along

Ceramic or anodised?

Your gonna blind somebody with that thing.

do you even ever post a bad video? lol

:D
