Tarnished Top Yoke

  1. Hi folks,

    Looking over my bike in some detail now that the sun has appeared and note that the top yoke is looking tarnished or 'cloudy' like the metal has oxidised or corroded. The bike is a 1997 916 SPS so not expecting it to look brand new but wondered if there is any way to bring back a nicer finish on the metal? Picture below isn't great for showing the marks / tarnishing.

  2. Be careful not to remove "patina" by over polishing.
     
  3. Ah I didn't realise it was meant to be matte, i might try and get some of the whitish patches and marks off in any case.​
