SIXSIXZERO said:i polish stuff everyday (sidejob).
i use 800 then 1000 grit sand paper, then white jewlers rouge on a high speed wheel i have attached to an angle grinder.
it has always worked for me and comes out to a MIRROR finish everytime. i would however like to know more about this product that is being discussed because im tired of re-polishing my entire bike EVERY time i ride!!!
Hey there six-o,
When we treat street bikes (Sport Bike frames, wheels etc.), the average life span of a Sharkhide job can run five years or more before another coat's applied. On bikes like yours, they go through more hell in twenty minutes than a street bike will see in a life time. So all that means to you is you should wipe a fresh coat on two or three times a year. This won't require a new polish job, just swipe a fresh coat of Sharkhide right over the original.
When you apply Sharkhide to a mirror finish, on a scale of one to ten (ten being perfect), it will knock the shine from a ten to a nine or nine and a half. If your bike was a trailer queen type show bike, this wouldn't be acceptable. But since you use your bike, I think I would rather loose a tiny bit of shine rather than polish my life away.
I hope this helps.
