My bike is starting to look shabby and this weekend i'm going to give it a spruce (I know i'm so vein...that i've even been looking at new bikes even though there is absoloutely nothing wrong with the old one - it just is starting to look very used).
One of the main problems is the SLX cranks which are starting to look scratched to shite. I therefore am going to give polishing my cranks a go this weekend.
I think aluminium polish and a polishing ball on a drill are the best steps...is there anything else I should use...I've been advised not to bother with the wet and dry.
Secondly has anyone tried spraying their cranks with a clear lacquer after polishing to prevent them from getting oxidized and scuffed again or am I wasting (even more) of my time? Whats the best thing to use?
P.S. picture above is of what I'm going to have achieved this weekend!
