If that's your opinion that's fine but you haven't read my post properly.

I never said polishing shock rods will "fix your handling issues", I simply stated that it will give you a smoother shock action.

I've been doing this for years and it delivers noticeable improvements in handling and makes shock seals and the PTFE bushes between them last longer. Why do you think car and motorcycle (and RC car!!) manufacturers spend millions of pounds developing low-friction coatings for shock shafts and fork stanchions?
