Nice work... what the hell is autosol though? Must be a UK thing... Brasso however is universal, that's for sure. I was originally thinking jiff and those green scrubs, but was concerned about the matt effect it would give it. Will try a section and see how we go... If all good, pics to follow... If not, head hanging in shame and Araya rims for sale!

theRuler:
if you are just stripping annodising, use oven cleaner, then a metal scouring pad
you won't need the wet n dry paper

once you have it all off, polish it up with a metal polish. you'll be surprised how easy it is to get a shine (in one tiny bit ;) )

it's a labour of love, but well worth it

Autosol is a cream polish in a toothpaste like tube.... Its great for chrome and aluminium polishing  :daumenhoch:
