Biff... Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 (edited) I did my old echo pure by using t-cut and something called solverautosol, dont no if that's exactly what it's called but it's somthing like that, i'm sure someone will correct me.Any way yeah that's a method of doing it but it takes a while.

pogonation Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 buy a bench grinder, then replace the grinding disc with a polishing/buffing mop, then you buy polishing wax which you rub onto the polishing mop switch it on.... polish your bike and hey presto.Cheap bench grinder:http://www.machinemart.co.uk/product.asp?p...95&r=2040&g=106Polishing mop:http://www.machinemart.co.uk/product.asp?p...04&r=2040&g=106And you can even gind your rims really easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoo Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 (edited) Use nitromors..i applyed mine onto the frame with a knife because i didn't have a brush,took quite a while but it is well worth the effort,the paint should pretty much instantly come off,i would go over the whole frame twice to make sure you have every part of it done,and when you first polish it,it should go dark grey,then apply a second layer of polish and hey presto ! it starts to turn chrome/shiny/mirrored.The polish i used was 'Autoglym metal polish' (It comes in a really shiny rectangular box) it can be bought from any good car shop.if you add me to msn i can send you some pictures of mine so you know what it will turn out like Hope this helped matey,good luck!zoo baby !msn : slotcar1990@yahoo.co.uk Edited May 21, 2006 by zoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
