The difference doesn't show as well in the photos, but I think it's worth the effort.

Looks great. Is that what I get to look forward to when I'm tired of trying to keep my chrome, chrome looking? I was using Mothers aluminum polish tonight as I was taking each wheel off to polish the back side of the wheel. and yes I turn 48 tomorrow, 9TSIX is my brother being a smart behind.

Yep, I noticed some scratches on the top of the sidetubes from shoes gettin' in and out of the car. So I wet sanded and polished the entire tubes. Now to get the primary pipes and collectors to match.

Re: polishing Jet-Hot sterling (70vert)
Not much time, 1/2 hour each maybe. I started with 600 wet/dry paper then 800 followed by Mothers polish with an orbital polisher......
