Polish your Cafe Racer

Today I decided to post a little tip for polishing your cafe racer engines. These older engines are often covered in oxidation, and other nastyness from being left out in the elements. Besides taking your engine apart and polishing it on a wheel, the best way I have found to clean them up is to use Mothers brand mag and aluminum polish. Simply dip a clean rag into the polish and start scrubbing your engine cases, covers, carb tops, wheels, and whatever else needs shined up. Let it sit for a few seconds and wipe it off with a different clean rag. Be warned, it takes a few times and quite a bit of elbow grease to get good results, but its well worth the sore arm. Start scrubbing.
