My 748R pipes are in need of a polish. I bought some Harpic Power Plus max toilet cleaner and Mirka Mylon abrasive finishing pads. That removed the baked on brown colouring. I then set about using Solvol Autosol with a drill and fabric pads. Slowly I seem to be approaching a mirror finish, but it is time-consuming and laborious. Please let me know if there are better methods of application or products.
Personally, I think Solvol is a little coarse to get a mirror finish. Autoglym liquid metal polish is good, as is Peek, if you can find some.
2 options. A: As above, takes ages and makes a right mess. B: Pay someone else. I've done A. I'll be doing B next time.
I did B and it cost me £30 for my Diavel Termis. Once they are polished you will need to keep it up though as they discolour quickly. If I was to do it again I'd probably consider ceramic coating. Stuart
Pay somebody to do it properly !! They are much easier to maintain !!! I use wurth stainless steel cleaner spray it on leave for a minute and there spotless
Buffing wheel using diferent grade polishing soap, not expensive but good results. This took a while to do.
Just started doing mine, 600-3000 grit pads then I need to finish the on the wheel. They have come up well but have taken 4 hours or so! Should be a lot easier to keep this way now.
Started polishing my pipes on my Z1000 but in the end went for cerakote... Even after caked on salt and what not from the road... 2 minute wipe makes them come up as new...did the hyper as well.
I am more interested in those forks, they look really good. Did you have them anodised or are they new?
