Great thread, be nice to get a trustworthy firm on board for that aspect of our dirty habit. I'm polishing a few bits up myslf at the moment, most of it has gone really well (i.e. easy) but i've been getting the face on over some cantilever brake arms. They were a pain to get the paint off, had caustic dip & 24hrs submerged in nitromors. Finally got 99% of it off. I've been searching for some "felt bobs", small ones to get into the nooks and crannies, I live in the most well-known steel & cutlery producing city in the country and can I bollocks find anywhere with some in stock!! Fortunately i've got time on my side.
Anyway, enough waffle from me, looking forward to seeing how things progress.
Thanks for being arsed-enough to research and report. 10 points.  :angel:
