Polishing a Pace RC200 F3.

I rarely bother with mine , normally just soapy water but if I want it gleaming then Solvol Autosol is great but I guess eventually it will go through the ano (my F6 is gunmetal ano).
There's probably a good trick with 00 Wire Wool if yours is bare alu but I'm not sure of the method...

Yeah, if it's anodised and the anodising is still in good condition soap and water and car wax or a bike specific polish is all you can use.
You can get an alloy frame shining like a mirror but the anodising needs to come off, not an easy or quick task but has been documented on here, major disadvantage with that is the alloy is then unprotected so marks easily (even fingerprints) so needs to be re polished with metal polish to keep it looking good.

Do not use abrasive materials on anodizing (including silver). Here is a thread on polishing from a vintage bmx forum. It explains abrasive and non-abrasive polishing and is excellent. I recommend taking the time to read all the tutorial parts.
Good luck.
