Hi all,
Currently Winter pimping the bike (pics will follow) and I've my Micron silencers to polish up.
I've a polishing kit, worked great last year but this year it's being a pain in the ar*e and taking too long!
I'm down to the final polishing stages.

So, with little free time, I got a quote from reputable polishers.
£80 the pair (plus cost for removing/fitting pop rivets of micron logo, cost tbc)

Does this sound reasonable (it's more than I thought it'd be)

Cheers

If they take the care to remove the rivets and badges, sounds like they are very reputable and I would expect an excellent result, I have paid £50 for some 2T end cans(much smaller of course) to be polished but I wasnt overly happy with the result, if you get exactly what you asked for , its worth it? or pay less and expect less?

Are your polishing soaps contaminated ? this cold weather makes metal polishing harder too.

It's a age think eveything in life is more expensive than I expect it to be and yes Policeman are getting younger. I saw a pair of armed response guys the other day all kitted up and they looked incredibly young......now were did I park my zimmer

I do polishing normally charge £10 an hour and i would only charge 20 for a pair of cans although it may take longer if they were damaged

and i also do down pipes and bring them back to a mirror shine due to the time it takes the average cost is £20 a pipe plus post

So I went for it and got them polished.
Turned out really good, £100 (cans and caps).
