After the aluminum covers on the HD Switchback were washed at the dealer, they were streaked from water runs where the aluminum covers looked horrible. The dealer cleaned up the aluminum covers using Mothers Mag and Aluminum Polish. This apparently had never happened at the dealership on a Switchback. I was their first Switchback in for service. The aluminum covers are clean looking now. I did not know the HD dealership washes the bike after each service. The HD cleaner they use should not be used on Switchbacks. The HD dealership did a great job on cleaning the aluminum covers.

I bought a can of the Mothers Mag and Aluminum Polish and the Mothers PowerBall Mini Polishing Tool that makes polishing the aluminum covers better and faster. I polished some of the aluminum covers again as they were looking dingy from my riding.

Now my question is there a way to use or get a smaller powerball for the drill to polish the aluminum covers? The mini powerball will not get in the corner areas of the shifter (left side) and the lower parts of the covers on the right side near the pipes. Sorry, I do not know all the names of the aluminum covers on the Switchback (at least for now).

Thanks.

 

I use an old toothbrush wrapped in a piece of cotton cloth like the spoke cleaner below:
