Polishing, found the good stuff was created by Sweet Back
Fist let me say I have no relationship to, or ownership of this product.

I currently own 3 bikes, 96 kz1000p, 82 goldwing, and a cb500 chop. My cb and goldwing both have a fair amount of light corrosion on the motor. The cb has always been a dirty bike and I never really had intentions of adding chrome or makin it pretty. A friend of mine walked up and used some stuff called Wizards Metal polish on the side cover, and I was amazed at what it did. To be honest, I didn't even know the bike could shine like that. I accused him of being a crack dealer as now I had to go buy some, and that as usual, the first little bit is free. I'm adding a few pics and a video to see what this stuff can do. I was going to buy a few chrome parts for the goldwing but I really think now I'm just going to use this stuff. Truly amazing. I'll just let the pics speak for themselves. Easy to use. They have some type of follow up spray that will make it last longert. I think I'll be getting that soon as well.

And here's the real answer...about 10 minutes for the Yami cover. And that was going over it twice. The only prep involved is if its greasy. Just wash with simple green or some grease remover and dry thoroughly. That stuff cuts right through. I've never been a big polishing guy cuz it always seemed to take so long. Gotta use so much stuff or so many steps. Sometimes the drill is involved with a buffer or whatever other time consuminig steps people come up with. This is the true lazy mans polish. lol. I swear I don't work for them. I was just amazed at the outcome from such little work. The web site has videos of all there stuff at work, but I don't think they show really decrepit stuff like a lot of us are dealing with. Anway, here it is.

The reason the yami piece is there is because I was looking for the biggest piece of crap I had laying around BWAHAHAHAHAHA

The scary thing about some of those miracle polishes that don't take much rubbing is they have acid in them that actually removes the top layer of aluminum. Don't know if this one does, some do.

Everybody who smiths handguns uses simichrome for polishing guns. It's really good for that too.

lazy with capitol letters when it comes to buffin'n'polishin so I found short cuts,aluminium shines like chrome,or a polished mirror, start with 2000 wet/dry(1000 if fogged or ruff) take it down to where you want it,then use Metal Glo and finish with Maas very little sweat,touch up as needed with sham wow,or micro cloth Duke
