How did you apply the juice or were the forks placed in a large container? Very interested to know – the results look amazing by the way – I want to give it a go on my old chrome race bike!

Cheers.

Lemon juice in a small bowl,scrunchup a ball of tin foil, dip it in the juice, and............. rub a dub dub  :LolLolLolLol:

Keep dipping in the juice regularly - you end up getting a sparkly grey juice (yum  :buck2:) as the tin foil breaks down but this is good - acts like a mild abrassive paste ;)

You could try just submersing them in the juice - i have had very good results with this on small items such as seat clamps (if you follow my link in my first post at the top of this topic you will see) but firstly I didn't have enough juice for that  :-[ and secondly i had been wanting to try the foil method - for more on that have a look in tech n resto stickies for matt's (swivel) original haro resto (i've pretty much done the same here with the foil just used lemon juice in place of coke)
