I did a search and didn't find the answer, and I can't believe it isn't in here somewhere but I couldn't find it, sorry if this is a thread somewhere already...
I used a wire disk and removed all the paint from my tank, cleaned up the fork lowers, and was hoping to leave the naked (raw) steel to match the trailer fender I used for the rear fender. Here is an inprogress picture, I am clearly not done removing paint and polishing at this stage.
In researching the web I found 1000 people saying to try this or that to keep it from rusting and 1000 more saying nothing works.... SO... what I want is the swirled raw steel look. I am open to clearcoating, waxing, WD-40ing, RPM, etc but thought I'd come pick the brain of the VR collective to see what you all thought about the best way to handle it.
thanks
Nick
