Light scratches etc removal

[66 triumph daytona]

What do you guys use for light scratches/pitting on polished alloy?Wet and dry emery or paste?

I would start with soft cloth and paste(polish/autosol) See how that looks.
Still visible id use 0000 grade steel wool, then again with the soft cloth/polish
If still visible, then 1200 wet and dry, followed by the fine steelwool followed by the soft cloth.


Beware that bit doesnt look shinier than the rest

Thanks lads,the thing is I have tried Peek and Autosol but I need a more aggressive paste.I`ll probably wet and dry it followed by Peek.

I saw a method id never heard of and didnt believe until i had a go on my P7.

Tin foil shiny side out, make a ball, and dip it in a bit of water and scrub away, like you might use wire wool etc.

Sounds mad but it worked on th bit of my bike, and when it gets back to winter im gonna do the whole thing

Take a bow Ian,it works better than wet and dry or paste.

Lads you just have to try it as it works remarkably well,top tip-wear disposable gloves as its very very messy.
