e30m3 Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 You guys have any luck getting the "factory" machine-finish back on top of the lugs? I can't find a sandpaper that properly mimics the look (I want it to look like the attached pic). Seem to recall having read about Scotch-brite "red" pads (the green ones don't get it quite right, either). Thoughts? Tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 Bergeon makes a rubberized abrasive block (in three grits) for doing this. I use the "medium" block and get pretty decent results. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also use the Bergeon Medium block for lug brushing, but have also found a cheaper version that works well too.. https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/garryflex-abrasive-blocks?code=P4935 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 Considerably cheaper, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e30m3 Posted November 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 Scratch that - just got it to work. Phone didn't like it for some reason. 120 grit it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dlf Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 You can pick up emery boards for cheap from ofrei, casker etc, if you’re on a tight budget, they work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 The rubberized block is more "forgiving" as to technique... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a correct grit for both: 5-digits and 6-digits lugs? Read somewhere that Bergeon has different discs for SubC, but I don't know the details.

e30m3 Posted December 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 For the US-based people, I went with these "Sandflex" bars from amazon. The medium worked fantastically. I recommend starting from the inside of the lug so as not to ruin whatever chamfer you may have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
