Polishing ali gets rid of the texture/pores that retain muck.....a quick hose with cold water after a ride and maybe a quick wipe over with Brasso once or twice a year keeps them looking tip top :roll:

Nuvite Nushine II ;)
You can get it from here
http://www.alex-fraser.co.uk/
Jason England is the Guy to speak to. You can get it in 1kg tubs.

Use 3M superfine and microfine pads, then Nuvite grade F7, C, and S.
Here's the nuvite website.

Have fun! :)

If you're getting the frame repainted you should get the correct blue instead of purple :evil:
