Looking good though....

Amazing what "0000" steal wool and Windex does! Tried little spot on frame with it and wd and will never use that on any paint! Takes away any shine, foolishness to ever touch paint with that method....ruins and alters it! I'll make sure to remember not to buy any bike someone did that to!!!!

0000 steel wool and WD40 work great on heavily oxidized finishes but must be followed with a good polish. Stay away from pinstripes though or they will magically disappear. If this method is done right you would never know it. V/r Shawn

Forgot to take a total before pics of chainwheel before I started cleaning it up! Took one in the middle and after, keep it in mind I still have to use chrome polish on all the parts!

Pretty amazing....

What was repainted on it because it looked like the original paint was extremely solid!
