Trying to freshen my 88 XR250. The aluminum swingarm has a funky haze that won't scrub out no matter what I try. Is the only solution to sand it out ? I hate the way it looks but that's way more effort than I have the mental energy for right now. Are there any other solutions?
The Shop
An anodizing shop can strip and re-anodize it for probably less than you think. I just had a set of rims clear anodized and it was about 50.00 bucks.
I got a scotchbrite pad for my 4 1/2" grinder and buffed off the nasty finish.It made quick work. I use that grinder for so many things at home and work.Then wet sand with 800 and then maybe 1000. The sin of this is the Pro Link stickers were in great condition and I had to peel them off.
I wouldn't think the lye was able to remove the blue anodizing so well
