welcome back everyone how are you guys doing so I haven't done much on the
cr250 project for a few weeks now and I was really starting to miss it I was on
vacation in Japan for a few weeks I had a really good time but now I'm back
obviously and it is time to get busting on this project again so what I've got
going on today is I'll be cleaning up some aluminum parts on this bench
grinder back here now the grinder has a scotch-brite wheel mounted on it and the
scotch-brite wheel works amazing for brightening up aluminum before I get
started on today's video though I need to pick a winner for the giveaway on the
sprocket a few weeks back so let's get that taken care of right now
all right here's that sprocket I was referring to so I had posted up this
picture on Instagram and to enter the giveaway all you had to do was post the
comment on that picture it's going to go through and load up all
the comments and just pick a random one I've got all the comments loaded up now
I'm just gonna scroll up and down the page a few times and whatever comment
the mouse lands on you are the winner give this a few more Scrolls and let it
drop all right here we go right there we have Nick up degraph 43 hey you are the
winner I'll shoot you a DM and get your shipping address this is what I've got
going on a bunch of aluminum pieces and over here on the bench grinder I've got
the same scotch brite wheel that I've shown in a few of my previous videos I'm
gonna fire this thing up and see what we can do I'll be starting with this fall
will cover here it is looking pretty worn out but the scotch-brite wheel
should freshen it right up
so you'll want to work in the same direction on the cover that way you end
up with a consistent finish to remove some of the scratches just apply more
pressure to the wheel as you're buffing this sort of move most of the surface
scratches anything deeper like a scar you're gonna need something more
aggressive for that I am really happy with how this thing turned out still a
few small scratches left in it but this thing is gonna look awesome when mounted
on the bike my goal here is not to have a polished finish I just want a nice
clean finish that's easy to keep up on after all it is a dirt bike and I will
be riding it quite a bit I think it is time to shine up some more parts here
man these parts are looking super good another useful thing for the
scotch-brite wheels is you can use them to strip off rust and corrosion off of
axles now obviously these are plated and that scotch-brite is gonna strip that
plating off but if you keep these axles greased that should not be an issue
I'm actually really surprised how well that wheel worked on these axles cleaned
up the rust and corrosion like you is nothing for you guys looking to clean up
your own bikes you can find these scotch-brite wheels over on my website
it'll be the first link down in the description and this is the same wheel I
use the clean up frames by hand I posted a video a few weeks back on how to do
that so click over that frame cleaning video for more info so I will be giving
away one of these Scotch right wheels for one year to try out all you have to
do is write down in the comments below what bike you ride and I'll go through
and pick a random comment and send this gosh pad over to you what I'd like to
figure out in a future video is how to brighten up parts with tight crevices
like this right here so I think using a little scotch brite wheel on a dremel
tool will do the trick I'd like to brighten up these parts here
along with some engine parts such as the cases cylinder and clutch cover thank
you so much for watching guys I am really excited to get back in the groove
and start pumping out a ton of videos for you all I'll see you later
