4:10am, hands thoroughly blackened and I've run out of Autosol, first stop Halfords in the morning. Frame looks bling though.

Some more mid polish (Autosol only) photos, camera on tripod and same lighting/flash settings for continuity Before During After 1 polish Before After (not as noticeable on bushed finish) Before During After Progress: Fairly obvious to see...

But of course, what else is there to do at 1:45am on a Friday night (Saturday morning). I've stopped now [photos in a few mins], it'll take a few hours to do a thorough job on the entire frame. Done. I've never polished it since I bought it, removing 16 years of grime is satisfying...
