Had it recovered in white and the padding is cut lower to the seat pan. Hoping this will let me sit lower and also help to create my vision.

I used a Eastwood polishing kit. I first sanded it first with 240 then 600 and finally with 1200. then I used the Eastwood polishing kit. The best money I have ever spent.

When I sanded it I didnt sand all the marks out, only to remove the oxidizing. The polishing kit does all the work.There are different wheels and compounds that you use. The polishing wheels fit into a power or battery drill. However I have found the battery doesnt spin fast enough. I then mounted the drill into a vice and used it like a buffing wheel.

Posts: 2885	Re: One sad Savage Reply #59 - 09/28/12 at 21:43:56 The good clean aluminum parts like the risers of the s40 etc will polish out rather well. The turn signals brackets are a bit dirty aluminum. Polish up they will, but they would be needing to be polished pretty often or they get tarnished rather quick. Cool. Srinath.
