Has anybody tried Baking soda and lemon juice as a form of returning oxidised aluminium back to its former glory? I was speaking to a furniture restorer friend of mine about the Honda nsr frame and he reckons it’s works well. Just curious as I don’t want a full shine like when it’s been mopped heavily I just want a nice original look
if you've got pock marks you have to go deep don't you? I think I ended up using a middling grade compound last time. If no serious damage then many types will do it, even T-cut.
I seem to remember you can polish up and subsequently restore to a satin finish with a green scouring pad. YouTube is your friend on this. Keeping it or selling?
Aluminium foil and vinegar. Works a treat. Scrunch up some tim foil, dip it in vinegar frequently, and rub away. It removes the tarnish and leaves a satin finish. I learnt that off YT.
Scottish brite. If not too deep, by hand. Any deeper and Scottish brite on an orbital sander will leave a nice uniform satin finish.
