How do you get the brushed look?
Im after a brushed look for a top yoke. I also have a titanium end can with some scratches on it, how can i remove the scratches and give it the brushed look it used to have?
Thanks.

With a big comb or paddle brush

When polishing some bits of metal, I found that a 'hard wipe' (not scrubbing at it) with something like p400 gives a look not too dissimilar

Going on the internet is like owning a gun... Just point, click, then shit your pants waiting for the Police to turn up.

Re: Brushed look
Try Scotchbrite 3M Green, but make sure you keep the wipe in straight lines to keep them parallel, dont touch the surface with the cloth when lifting it.
Clear powder coat laquer can be applied direct to bare aluminium, but stove enamel is a better finish.
I have done yokes, forks and previously polished frame.
