Advice on polishing stuff
Bought a set of wide glide triple trees off ebay. They showed up today. Pretty good shape but they are a little pitted. Need to polish them.
Those of you whove polished stuff like this, what is your best method? Steel wool and Brasso? Polishing wheel and a rouge stick?
Does OEM triple clamps and lower fork legs have some sort of clear coat on them that I need to break thru?

I bought an arbor, a couple polishing wheels and some rouge sticks at Lowes and put my 1/2" electric drill in a vice to use as a buffer. Works awesome. No there isn't any clear on the trees, but there is on the front fork lowers. Check my album I did my lowers a couple weeks ago.
