Looking 4 ur ideas before I dive in . Bet somebody has a good few tips  ::)

Gary72:
I've thought about using Caustic soda, The stuff to de-anno. Leaves the ally dull after stripping. Not sure what would happen to polished ally though.

Scotch Brite pad tighten up the axle so it doesn't spin stick the axle in a drill on a low speed and polish  :daumenhoch:

Three options:

3M Scotch-Brite 7447 - Maroon (very fine)
3M Scotch-Brite 7447 has long been established as the standard for surface conditioning by hand. Clean, blend, finish, and de-burr faster and with better results than conventional abrasives. It is mid-range for aggressiveness and finish in the Scotch-Brite™ hand pads line.

3M Scotch-Brite 7448 - Grey (ultra fine)
Use this pad when high conformability and an ultra-fine finish on metals, woods, plastics, composites and solid surface counter tops is required. It's just right for cosmetic cleaning or for creating consistent finishes on flat or contoured work pieces.

3M Scotch-Brite 7496 - Green (fine)
3M 7496 is a fine abrasive and a general purpose comfortable hand pad which gives a slightly coarser finish than the Maroon 7447 hand pad.

I've used the Grey to give a brushed finish  :daumenhoch:

I used some 0000 wire wool to de-bling some pedal cages..works a treat. Also used it on some Renthals to de-bling those aswell..
