Default How to remove anodizing (rims/cranks) / Polishing aul. to mirror finish.


Alright so I de-anodised my cranks and seatclamp today. Here are some
pics:

The process was fairly simple, I just placed all the parts in the
caustic soda, then after about 10 minutes took them all out and rinced
them. (Some of the anodising needed a bit of a scrub with scotchbrite in
parts.) Then, I polished them up a bit in the tricky spots with the
buffer bit on my dremel.

I gave up halfway through polishing the cranks because it was getting
dark and I'm lazy... I think it looks way better than it did before and
I am going to get rid of all the red in time..

Tell me what you all think,

Mal
