Thank you for this review and guide.
Will try this soon 💪🏽.
I wanted to try this on a seatpost but am scared that it will decrease the thickness and thus result in slipping.
Do you recommend?
Thank you

Yes the polish does not remove any metal material. The sanding process was just to cut the clear coat off. So your seat post can be polished the same way. I recommend it to renew an old aluminum seat post.

I go with Mother because I can also clean My headlight lenses.

The Mothers works great! I love the Mothers power ball as well. I didn’t know you could polish headlights with it. Thanks for watching Micheal.
