How do you keep alloy shiny ???

[Terminated]

I have been cutting back with wet and dry, 800grit, 1500grit, and 2000 grit, and super fine steel wool and using CRC in little dozes. Progress is very good on front forks and started around engine. Master cyclinder came up to brilliant chrome finish after cutting back with grit paper then using Autosol polish.

I was advised to put a clear lacquer over the worked areas as a final protection step. I have purchased " ColorPak - Professional Series Acrylic Gloss Clear" Got it from the Resene/DuPont car paint shop in NaeNae.

Product is from Formula Marketing Ltd [Phone 0800 4FORMULA].

Heads Up and Enjoy

I'm not sure how I'm going to do this long term in the past I've just given it all a wipe over with a bit of CRC on a rag after polishing, now maybe just a once over every week with metal polish?

So would this give a longterm clean polished look then?????

[Unforgiven]

If you prep and paint it properly then clear coat will give you a permanant shiny finish, just clean it as you do all the other paint.
Just make shure anyone else being helpfull doesnt attack it with Autosol or anything similar.
