This stuff works like magic. [Product review]
My 2008 XL883 had some signifcant pitting onthe lower forks.
(previous owner didn't really pay attention to such things)
No real rust, but clearly some degree of oxidation going on.
I stumbled accross a youtube demo video showing this "Cycle Care Formulas Formula M" restoring some pitted forks.
I decided to give it a try.
Here's the stuff I used:
Here are my forks before:
Here are my forks after:
A side by side comparison:
I'm figured the "M" stood for motorcycle... but perhaps it stands for magic!
A marked improvement.
I am pleased.
Here's the youtube video I found:

While your forks look like a marked improvement and very nice, especially considering what they started as, I'd venture to say there are many polishes out there that would achieve the same results. This is not a knock to the polish you used (Formula M), but the results are a product of the Scotchbrite and your labor moreso than the actual polish used.

The SOS pads were clearly a major player here.
