Motorcycle polishing

2002

Hello,

I am interested in learning to polish motorcycle frames and wheels. I have a 2002 CBR 954 with a black powder coated frame. I was wondering what power tools I should buy to make the job easier and how I would go about polishing the metal. Can anyone help? I would prefer step by step instructions but any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your time,

You are looking at stripping it to the frame for starters. There goes that warranty. A 1HP bench grinder and a Dremel ⇦ this on eBay or Amazon [affil links] (tight spots) are needed along with buffing compounds and wheels.
