Use this on the frame. But Dnt let it sit to long, spray off ASAP . Then get your scrub on with red scotch brite pads! After you scrubbed for about 1 whole day. Then use Sos pads. That will really make your frame shine.



awesome! thanks!

Elbow grease + time = shine

Half the battle is washing the bike every time you ride it.. Stuff builds up to the point it has to be scrubbed off if you don't and it stains. It generally takes me 6 months to get my bikes to shine like I want them too. But I ride them so it slows down the process.

220 or 320 grit sandpaper, followed by maroon scotchbrite, then SOS/Brillo pads, and finally time, lots and lots of time.

Vapour blasting will out do any hand finish IMO and last a long time due to the 'sealing' of the porous aluminium ( cases etc )

I think I may have to try this as well! The backside of the frame is always a challenge with all the nooks and crannies.

Just pull the motor out. I'm getting the hang of it.

If you can get your hands on a steamer. They work awesome for the whole bike. You can literally watch it eat the corrosion off. Then once it's clean hit it with wd40 and let it sit
