isitafox Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Can anyone give me some pointers toward polishing my magura cylinders?? I'm gonna swap them over to my SL lever and would like them looking a bit nicer when I get them on the bike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Nitromors, ~200 grit sandpaper, wet n dry (wet), cloth and polish (in that order) This guide looks decent too, but very in depth: http://www.poleringsguide.se/english/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Thats an awesome guide, cheers for the link sir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Nay problemo That guide is probably a bit OTT for a brake cylinder to be fair... but may be handy in future! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaybs41282 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Oooh sparkly! I'll be having a crack at that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Could the same be applied to magura 05 lever bodys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Can't see why not, as they're still aluminium, aren't they? Autosol is a good polish to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Il do that tomorrow night then Cheers. Might do my slaves too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ireson75 Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 (edited) I polished my slaves yesterday, really pleased with how they turned out! Edited March 27, 2011 by ireson75 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted March 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 I've given up on the idea now, I'm so anal I was gonna try and find a front Echo SL and then try and track down a red SL lever blade so it would match the rear. That ain't gonna happen so I'm gonna sell it instead and just buy a pair of TR full brakes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
