Don't think you can get Autosol locally Roy - I saw an aluminum wheel polishing product at Canadian Tire that sounded like it would do the trick. Good luck - I've toyed with the idea of stripping and polishing a frame too.

I prefer NXT to autosol, I think you can get that over there ?

You need a product called mothers mag - it's an American product but like autosol. It must be good as it says "fatal if ingested" on the side of the pot :shock: It's brilliant and does the job in no time! warning just go gentle with the grit paper.

Autosol can be had from any car supplies shop,probably halfords too :? Its about £8 a tube but thats enough to do the whole frame and many other bits besides.
B&Q have it for about £5 look in their car car section.

Wet&dry isnt sandpaper so dont ask for it by the name 'sandpaper' as you'll be pointed in the wrong direction.W&D is grey in colour.


Note* I have seen some mechanics substitute T-cut in place of autosol.Much the same thing-a burnishing cream :?

I'll take the Ti Mega off your hands if you're struggling to fit in your other projects around it

I've got an Alpinestars fork for sale too, although it's not one of the posh ti ones
