Bare AL finish

[jeffb]

Have a Bare Al "Fast Track" LionHeart that has several large scratches and some smaller marks; I'm sure this is normal for bare Al lights, was considering polishing with "mag" polish for Al wheels; know that could just not bother as it gives the light "character", but it is aLIonHeart!
Opinions, welcomed?!

Hmmm. Wonder where you got that Fast Track? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thinking.gif Probably a Dremel using a polishing tip would be the best. p.s. are they really that big?

You can see 2 smaller and then to the left is a longer, wider, deeper scratch that covers the length of head. Actually didn't notice until I took picture and then "lit it up"!

Thanks,

I wouldn't bother trying to polish it. If you do polish it, be careful with that Dremel. Remember that it polishes by removing material, and T6 comes off pretty quick.

I'd just use some 0000 steel wool and put a brushed finish on it, or better yet, bead blast it.

I agree with Chop. 0000 steel wool is safe and imparts an attractive "look".

hey whats wrong with a little character? who cares if its a lionheart it will probably be the only lionheart that gets used enough to get scratches be proud of em they aren't scratches they're character lines
