Started to polish the ugly brake lines

Do not like the aluminum look of the brake lines, so I steelwhooled them and polishished'em with some blue magic.Really shines well.

Re: Started to polish the ugly brake lines

Thanks, I first used some of the fine steelwhool with a little amount of the blue magic onto the steelwhool and rubbed the crap out of it until the lines got really black.Then wiped clean.Went back over it with some neverdull cotton with a bit more blue magic onto the cotton until it turned black.

Re: Started to polish the ugly brake lines

That Blue Magic is some good stuff! I bought some a while back to try it on some badly neglected alloy wheels and it worked great!! Just rub it till it turns black and wipe it off. Works even better with a power ball on a drill.
