JG1 Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 What's the best way to get rid of the oxidation and bring the shine back on a polished stator cover? Not sure if I should buy a harbor freight polishing kit, or something like mother's mag & aluminum polish? I tried to attach a pic but it says the file is too big.

RagunCajun Posted August 12, 2021 Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 flitz polish or mothers. you can look on youtube on how people hand polish stainless steel revolvers to see how to do it. basically wax on, wax off. over and over and over... I did my shearer pipes this passed weekend and attempted to do my clutch cover but i gave up on the clutch cover because i didnt want to take it off.. I would assume 0000 wool is too aggressive but i will try it on a part that isnt visible to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you managed to remove the oxidation by now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used 0000 steel wool and Mothers Mag polish. Came out looking brand new! I’d post a before and after but this site always says the pictures are too big. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted April 19, 2022 Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 Stand up buffer with tripoli and medium wheel to get through the oxidation. Fine wheel and tripoli to shine, fine wheel and rouge or green bar to finish it. Best hand polish you’ll ever touch will be Master Formula for finishing and the occasional hand buff.

SemperChaos Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 I like the finest scotchbrite you can get with water. follow up with mothers on a wheel, or if you have time neverdull and alot of elbow grease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
