Great vid my friend!......Im dreading doing my frame on my 2001 GSXR 1000....EVERTHING including the swingarm I had triple chrome plated all the way down to calipers and other small parts. Im such a perfectionist in the work that I do I know Ill keep comparing it to the chrome! Really doesnt matter too much..at night or from 5 feet away your average person wouldnt even notice the difference...but I will! LOL

looks great, on my set-up , on one side of the machine i have a fine wire wheel. that does all the sanding for me, then i use a sprial stiched wheel on the other side and generally use green compound. no elbow work at all, i just let then machine do the work.

@richconklin1
I get mine at the Harbor Freight store in town. Google "buffing compound" and go to Caswell plating's website. I know they sell it on line, and they also have a forum dedicated to buffing and polishing .

what compound did you use on the wheel?

@robbiebobbie111
For the final polish I usually use the white compound. That's what I was using here. If you're doing steel I think you would use the brown, then the white. It's been a while since I did any buffing and it was always on aluminum. I'm not an expert though, so you might want to check out caswell plating buffing and polishing forum. LOTS of great info there!
