Best way to clean my ball burnished GT rts frame?

Hi dude,

I have had some good results at polishing up ally bits (by hand) for the bear valley and the 856

I have posted my methods a few times, will try and find you a link

Here's my point about how easy it is to maintain

I T-Cutted that frame as it was on my mind

Looks like this now:

I thought I'd give that seat post a quick rub and look at that:

The bar ends in particular were quite bad, they were destined for the 856 The flex stem and ringle's were lightly scuffed ano and the Ti stuff was brushed

Cool

By way of notes swap

In my build thread over here I chemically de-annodised some rims...

It's easy as pie and no sanding marks! 'Tis to be done with appropriate caution though

Although these aren't quite getting mirror shined, just stripped and polished

I am using autosol on it but I'm being very careful with it. So I'm hoping it will shine up ok. The seat tube is the worst quite a few scratches and rust spots.

Heres a picture

This one's got surface oxidation that's bad enough that polish probably won't cut through it all before your elbow falls off. 600-1500g wet sanding and a final polish. Use tooth brushes with polish on them on the welds and cable stops and in all the fine nooks on a triple triangle frame.
