Tea and biscuits in the garage anytime you want to pop by with your polisher!

I only use three steps.. 1st one with a designated polishing mop on the electric drill.. using a rolson 'clean and polish' compound. to be honest, you could leave it at that, its quite good.
then I swap mops and use solvol aluminium polish, then with same mop finish with a rolson finishing polish / wax.
I did the front forks on the 2006 model I had last year, but it was a bit of a bitch to keep clean. so, with my new one, I've cleaned them and sprayed them with '5 wheels silver', which just wipes clean and looks good.

No scraped knuckles or broken finger nails using a drill! Shiny engine is a bonus.
