Polishing of motorcycle cylinder fins Q&A

Q. I am trying to polish the fins and between the fins on my Rev Tech 100 inch engine, but I can't seem to get in very far to get the complete jug polished. Does anyone know what I could use to get the job done? I am also trying to do a 850 Suzuki but I just can't get into the tight spots. Any help would be appreciated.

A. It would be tedious but you could use Cratex style abrasive tips ⇦ this on eBay or Amazon [affil links] on a Dremel ⇦ this on eBay or Amazon [affil links] tool. available in grits coarse enough to remove scratches and fine enough to polish.
