Thanks Dinglem. I will give it a go. :daumenhoch:

For the really stubborn rusty areas have a go with some scrunched up tinfoil afterwards. I have been truly amazed by the results on several of my frames now.

Just sanding then very fine sanding then polish and buffing on the guts
got an Sr stem coming so will need to get on that next so will need a fine polishing on that when I get it will be a busy boy
it's quite relaxing this polishing malarkey
dinglem:
Tis indeed. I prefer doing complete frames and I generally limit myself to one frame tube per polishing sesh, otherwise I start skimping and rushing to get the entire thing done. One tube at a time means I spend plenty of time in it. I'm a bugger for doing one bit then wanting to stick the decals on that tube before the rest is polished up though. No patience!

now you just need to re-learn English Jon :teef:
btw I see US guys always mention Mothers polish as the buffing cream of choice, how does it compare to Peek?
I fooking love Peek - that stuff is just ace, but always good to hear results from other places. Bit reluctant taking advice from FB where people are still recommending that people use tin foil and water on chrome.

Hey Griff for polishing you should try white diamond,ive tried mothers,peek etc was all ok results but the white diamond is the stuff to use was recommended it by spadey top stuff IMO ;)
