Knuckle busting

Here's something to do when you have too much time on hand.

Steel wools, Mothers mag and aluminum polish, Gif, HD polish, rag and pail + 4 painstaking hours of scrubbing = much better than before wheel. But it's only nice from far and still far from nice. Those scallops on the edge is "designed" to collect dirt! Maybe it's time to machine them flat and give it a professional mirror finish polish.

In between


Now I know one of the reasons why HD parts catalogue has a section heading that says "ALL ROADS LEAD TO CHROME" cos then if it ain't polished like the silly triple tree, you won't have to use so much strength and time to make them shine again!
