Default How to polish rotors for enforcer wheels?

im putting some enforcer wheels on my road glide and was wondering if anyone has polished their rotors and if so how is it done. I don't want to pay $110 to have someone do it for me.

Yes you can. I had mine done through ***** shiny. But you have to remember you will be squeezing brake pads on the surface. It still looks good, but it doesn't stay mirror polished.

The contact surface as in where it's bolted to the wheel or where the caliper/ pads contact it?
Are u trying to remove imperfections ie bad grooves?

You can but they're rotors. With brake pads running all over the surface. So what do you expect?

I was more wondering if it was a safety hazard to polish contact surface
