Please try Peek or Mothers metal polish
This is advice that all newbies should know - as the old wife's tales will be crap

Zammo. Christ, that's going back :LolLolLolLol:
If the frame is chrome Autosol is a great polish.

you will be able to get all the parts you need, do you want to build it back totally original or do you mind using repro parts?
Why are you throwing the calipers? they look usable. Are you going to be riding or looking at the bike?

Hi Damo
I'm happy to use repro parts. The calipers are probably original but have more or less lost the gold colour, so i thought I'd replace them. the bike wont be ridden often so will be looked at most of the time.

They could easily stripped/polished if you were ok with silver, or get them re-anodised?
There are some decent repop parts about that are pretty faithful to the originals, but repop MX1000s are an abomination

Morning all, thanks for all the replys. I didn't realise i had them!!!
So i have bought Mothers Mag and Aluminum Polish, but can I use this on the frame as it says not recommended for chrome?
Should I have bought Peeks polish instead?
Bike nearly finished.
