I agree. Amazing work - writing all the tips down because I probably wont find this thread when I need to!
Can I ask where you're getting the shoes from as I may need some for my Laiti Mono hubs…
Todays the day!
The clearcoat is dry, so its time to cut it back and polish it.
Process is pretty simple...all by hand, no machine polish (as we would at work) and no special kit....home garage job.
First, im cutting the clear back with 1200g wet and dry....wet, well soaked paper.....don't go too mad...you will know its working when you feel the paper glide rather that rasp...stop!
Second, wipe off the soap film that will come with cutting the clear....
Third, polish with t-cut on a cloth.
Fourth, good wax polish.....
Thats it...done.
Its not quick....the while frame took me 3 hours....but its worth it......do it right, do it once.
Here's picks, clearcoat, sanded, wiped off, t-cut
