Actually yesterday but couldn't get to my laptop.......

Used my Autosol and Belgom ALU to polish up the twin devil end cans, the shiny bits anyway as they are carbon. What an awesome shine from them both.

The Belgom makes a great difference to the finish and it's almost mirrored. Thinking about one on these for the wheels and the frame polishing:

IMO that's a bit lightweight for wheels and frame. You would go through so many sanding discs it's not funny. :eek2

The frame is already polished up I just need to keep on top of it. The wheels however are slightly pitted and dull so may well need a bit more work and sweat involved.

Will see how it goes as may still even get them powder coated white yet, I don't know.

+1, I don't know either.

Sweaty pits are certainly a factor.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Nothing to the bike itself, but I now am blessed with power in the garage, so I knocked together a work bench. Needs finishing properly, but enough for today. Included a little message especially for a Mr Kev L.
