JoNnY__Mc Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 You can get a frame like a mirrow with autosole !ask Krisboats JoNnY__Mc !Me and ben spent about 5 minutes pissing about with an old frame I had... all you do is get an old rag, put a dab of autosol on it... smudge along the area you want to polish, polish into the frame, get a clean cloth, clean away autosol and buffer crazily until very shiney (doesnt take much)I would deffo advise it, gives great effects with minimal effort, its really easy to use, just make sure you have removed the laquer layer from your frame first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerz Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I use it alot to polish my bars and frame , it's good stuff and i would definatly recomend using it,also my dad uses it to polish up the chrome on his quad and when he is finished it glems definatly the best metal cleaner i have used.I think its near on a fiver a tube but you dont need to use loads.

moza Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 yer it is good stuff, i used it on my t-rex. worked a treat. rub it in with a bit of rag until it goes all black and manky, then rub the dirty polish of with a soft clean rag and you will have a nice polished frame.moza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDM20 Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 If you want slightly abrasive qualitys like to get brushed ali to a chrome shine use autosol I use it on my SS exhaust but thats only because it is cover in carbon fumes so the abrasive helps alot. But if you just want to keep some ali thats already shiney shine then you want some mothers ali and mag polish it has no abrasive qualities and just shines any ali up instantly, I use it on my straight razors as Autosol will start to damage the blade if used frequently.Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Absolutely mint stuff, just spread it on thin, then really work it in for ages and buff it off.Mirror shine, every time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
