Polishing my Romeo

[Inkkoonce]

Just get some Maguires NXT Metal polish - that’s all you need. That and a couple of rags! Trust me

So I don’t need to sandpaper anymore?

Jesus!
I say using wet&dry is making it harder.

Never.
You could use a brown scotch pad to begin with. Honestly though just the NXT & rag is all you need.
It doesn’t take long. That’s why I only charge £40 to polish a Romeo

Using just metal polish will give them a shine but it wont remove any casting marks left from the manufacturing process - any imperfections will detract from the final result.

240 grit will quickly remove casting marks then it is a simple pricess of working through the different grades until you get to the finest - in my case 10k grit. This gives a great finish but using either Maguiars or Mothers aluminium polish will give superb results.

My pair with Fire lenses have a 10k wet and dry finish, and the Sapphire pair have the 'extra' Mothers alu finish....

End result is completely dependant on the amount of effort put in. Here is a pic of the rear of my pair that didn't have as much time spent on them.

I’m not sure about the ‘stainless steel’ look personally. The amazing thing about X metals is the fact that titanium is cast or as they say in USA, forged. (?)
But each to their own of course.
