I thought I'd ask this here because of all the old bike restorations. I have a British bike(Raleigh) that has original paint. It's very complete but has tiny rust speckles poking through. I've tried clay bar and different polishing compounds in an unnoticeable place, but other than making it shinier and removing some paint, I'm not getting any traction with removing the speckles.
Saw an article about making your own bike waterbed so you can lay the frame in there and just add enough Evaporust to cover the frame. Not sure I really wanna go that far with it and risk decals/stickers. I've heard Evaporust is safe on paint, but if you read enough feedback, some say it really isn't....makes you wonder.
As they say, the paint is only original once....if nothing can be done about the tiny rust speckles, I can just super wax the whole frame and live with it.
