I have a couple of frames that I'd like to lavish some care on. Both are sound but have picked up the odd scratch here and there, and a few areas where the finish has been gently polished shinier than the rest of the frame through I can only suspect my shorts rubbing the frame when riding.
The original finish on both is matt, which I'd like to end up with again.
I'd like some advice on how to prep.and finish the job. For example, a few scuffs are shiny, so would I be better to give the whole frame a light sanding to get it to a uniform finish before hitting it with scotchbrite to create the Matt? Or do I just start with scotchbrite and work the areas that are shiny more than the rest?
Speaking of scotchbrite, am I wrong in thinking that it is just the stuff I use to clean pans?
