Novice trying to polish bike frame

Could someone please advise me on what tools and polishes are best to strip the paint and polish an aluminum motorcycle frame for someone who has never done it or seen it done before.

Go to uponone.com. It's a sight sponsored by starboyz. Go to the how to section and there is a how to polish your frame area. I just got done doing it and it turned out awesome. It took me about 24 hours all together to do the frame, swingarm, and underneath my seat. Good luck.

Hi, John. letters 800, 1831, and 10917 go into substantial detail about aluminum polishing. Good luck!

Thanks, Jim. Full name next time, please.
