AR cycles

I'm that guy that's gonna work Aaron's hands, but it'll be epic. My apologies in advance, but we've been talking about it for a while. Glad it's coming to fruition.

Post brazing, starting the clean-up and polishing work. Stainless is always a tricky material to work with from cutting to brazing and of course polishing to a mirror like finish.

More or less a lot of sanding with finer grits of sandpaper. Usually I start with 80 grit to smooth over the entire surface of the lugs, then 120/220/400/800/1000/1500 and finally hit them with polishing mops and compounds at the very end. It is a labor intense process but I love the look and by the amount of requests I get for it I'm thinking others do as well. Thanks for the question.

After hours of sanding and finally buffing compound and wheels we have some shine

Looks great, Aaron. Painting the tubes?

Thanks, yes I believe this one will wear a pearl white coat with contrasting red logos.
