Howdy,
I bought a pair of KX 250 forks from a Fellow DRNer and I stripped the ugly, chipped light blue paint off of the forks, and I am told that I should use some sort of Aluminum Polish on the outer tubes. I bought these forks for a KX front end mod to my KDX. I want to know what the aluminum polish is, where I can get it, how to put it on the forks, and what it does. Any info would be great.

what it is: an abrasive wet compound that you rub on with a cloth to scrub off any external corrosion so that a clean shiney surface is left.
you can buy it at KMart or WalMart.

I think it is more of an "etching" compound as opposed to abrasive.
Rub it on with a cloth and the surface will turn black-ish. Buff off the black with a clean cloth.

Another one that works pretty good if you can find it is Met-al Aluminum Polish. Seems to clean up the Aluminum fishing boat every year alright.
