MOTHERS/MAG AND ALUMINUM POLISH.

[GaryMNM_imp]

Dug up this and another old thread in a search and thought I'd revive it for reference if for nothing else for us plain old stainless steel pipers.

Over the years I'd always used Mothers Chrome & Mag products with pretty decent results. After giving her a bath I decided to tackle my bronze/brown headers.

Minimal effort applied by the way, I'm sure even better results would be shown with greater effort. I kiped the technique from a Delboy's Garage youtube video but used my on-hand Mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish.

Here's a handful of before, after and during shots. I'm proud to say not a busted knuckle in the bunch.

Before:



After:



Process:
Smear on a small amount of MM&AP. I'd used and old, unused Ben & Jerry's (I think) ice cream stick I had in my arsenal as an applicator since my supply was hitting bottom. Note: amount shown was more than double of what I'd used on the remaining. A small 2-3 inch smear at the top, one side will do.


I then used a strip of old t-shirt (credit goes to Delboy's Garage video), double wrapped around the pipe and slid back and forth up and down the pipe to apply the polish, followed by a piece of clean t-shirt to remove any remaining residue. I was pleased with the results. I did do one more complete pass of the process because it went too smoothly.


As mentioned in an earlier post, I may apply some Honda Spray Cleaner/Polish as a top coat for a protectant.

Also as noted in an earlier post: It did not remove the liver spots, only lightened them. At least they match the rider.
