Factory frame prep

Anyone have insider tips on how these factory guys get the frames to look so fresh? I know scotch brite does a good job but the factory frame seem to be in another level. High level sand paper with soapy water?

I know the top spar gets polished but the bottom is like a super clean flat silver that's looks trick.

New frame every few rounds helps

scotchbrite pad on a drill, and wd40. my favorite cleaning process!

i wonder if they soda blast every couple rounds? that would make them look brand new!

Aluminum wheel cleaner but you had better know what you're doing. And you had better strip it to the frame.

Pretty sure they run the same frame for a whole season, then switch to a new one for outdoors. Except for KTM/Husky's which I believe are replaced every few rounds.

I have some green scotch brite pads & wd40 I use on my factory fatty pipe. Pretty much apply the same process to my frame?

They use a new frame about every 3 rounds.
