Clear coat on alloy never seems to work that great, and unless your bike is a 100% original resto job, it might be better to get the sliders polished?

It can be applied by brush and will dry smooth (apparently). It will apparently not yellow, and sets extrememly hard.

Hope this helps.


This 'glisten' product works very well and has lasted 3 season of Vintage MX on some of my bikes and does not look like yellowing or coming off. It is not the easiest to apply and is time consuming.
