CB1100 Restauration

[Gone in 60]

It's sort of like having the headlights polished on your car. That's basically buffing off the remains of the burned clear coat on the plastic lenses. It looks great for a short period of time, but the bare plastic hazes more quickly in a short period of time if they aren't re-clear coated.

While it does look great now- he removed all the protective surface during his process.

I'd hate to see the bike in 6 months- especially if ridden in the rain a few times or left outside.

Hi pd, is there protective coating on the chrome parts, or you're talking about other parts ? which ones ?

To the best of my knowledge, traditionally it has been the aluminum parts.

Salt solution and untreated aluminum is quite the reaction.
