Put the shine back into your bike with this bench buffer
Be it for buffing up chrome or adding some allure to aluminium, if you want to put the shine back into your bike, you need the Clarke CBB200 bench-top buffer.
Chrome and motorcycles have been hand in hand ever since somebody discovered it was cheaper than nickel plating. It’s easy on the eye, protects the metal beneath it, and gives us riders something to do when we aren’t riding our bikes - I’m looking at you, full dress Harley riders!
If you take pride in keeping your bike gleaming like it just rolled out of the showroom, Clarke’s new CBB200 bench-top buffer and polisher might be your new best mate in the garage.
Built around a sturdy cast iron base with vibration-damping rubber feet, the CBB200 is designed to stay put while you work. For those who take detailing seriously, it can even be bolted down to your bench for extra stability when you’re tackling stubborn oxidation on alloy wheels or bringing tired exhaust headers back to life.
Power comes from a 370W motor, which can spin upto 2,850rpm — more than enough to cut through grime and restore that bright lustre to metal and even composite surfaces - just don’t apply too much pressure on the latter! The twin bearing-balanced shafts promise smooth running, while a front-mounted on/off switch keeps things simple and safe.
Out of the box, it comes with two polishing mops — one stitched, one open style — so you can get cracking straight away. You can even buy a multitube of polishing compounds and replacement mops on the Machine Mart website.
So, whether you’re reviving old chrome or just keeping your pride and joy looking its best between rides, the Clarke CBB200 looks like a proper bit of kit for the hands-on motorcyclist who likes things clean and shiny.
You can check out the Clarke CBB200 200mm Bench Buffer for yourself on the official website.
