Polished Rotors this weekend...
First mod of the season...this is what happens when you're bored!
I polished the hats with a combo of mother's powerball, dremmel and simichrome polish. Finished with a few coats of high-temp clearcoat.
Also did the shock tower and fuel tank cover in front of the rear wheel...hard to see in the last pic, but looks cool in daylight.
What do you think?

Nicely done. The rotors and the gas tank shield sure look good all polished up.

Looks great
How did you keep the polish off the fire path of the rotor ? Masking tape or ?

If you keep a tight grip, you can focus on the intended work area. If you limp wrist it, it can dance around for sure.
