What compound did you use to clean the skirt and chain guard?
I used No. 7 Heavy Duty rubbing compound on the chain and skirt guard as well as on other pieces.

I used TurtleWax rubbing compound once I ran out. I didn’t have much of the No.7 to begin with. Both work pretty similarly, they seem to have the same grit.

To remove the gray paint you may try some lacquer thinner and if that don't get it a product called Goof Off will usually do the trick--gloves and ventilation! The bike looks original, complete, and should clean up nicely. The bike is either a '40 or '41. "32953" is the serial number. Are there any other numbers/letters on the bottom bracket by the serial? Here is one I have. V/r Shawn
