I feel as though I'm underachieving getting old clear-coated aluminium parts looking fancy, e.g. crank arms, brake arms etc.
My usual approach is wash with warm, soapy water then a *lot* of elbow grease and Autosol, rather than attacking anything with the polishing mop and compound.
However, it leaves the parts a bit lacklustre.
I've seen a few people stripping the clear-coat completely, then polishing the bare aluminium, but don't want to go that far.
Does anyone do anything different to get a better finish on the clear-coat?
Cheers, Richard
