Gents,
Thought would have a really good go at getting some Triton Magnesium hubs with Titanium axles as shiny as possible.
This is made slightly harder as they have the OG decals on the hubs.
I have a Goddards Silver cloth and some Peek, but after an hour they look only about 10% better.
I know nothing about metals to be honest but just not sure what I need to do. This bike will never be leaving a temperature controlled room (where it has been stored for a long time), however I am thinking that some kind of reaction happens with the atmosphere?
I cannot be the only person challenged with this! Any help would be appreciated!
