Step 6:
Buffing wheels on old bench grinder with the guards removed and polish from
WW Grainger. Cost of wheels and polishing paste about $25.00.
Buff with the black compound and wipe clean then buff with the red compaound and finish with a good sealer wax. Use a dremmal tool to get in the small places.
Very important.... after riding in the rain clean ASAP or the finish will oxidize.
