Hey guys,
So the other threads made me pull out a pair of 1.7/1.8 SS HE's that I've had lying around and clean them up. Here's my problem though, the easy off worked like a charm. I wiped them down and started polishing with the very fine steel wool. I'm finding oxidation spots though, will it just take some elbow grease with the steel wool and some polish to get them out or do I need to do something else? Thanks all -- Steve |

Steve try "Simichrome Polish" Made in Germany. Its a polishing past, you use very little and I have had great luck with this stuff. It cleaned up the pipes on my 70 Trumiph Tiger and many other things. You can find it in most good bike and automotive stores.

One of the best multi-use polishing compounds I've EVER found. Been using it for 30 years. Seems to have an inhibitor built into it, so things stay polished for quite some time. Here's a pic of one of my SSI's (bought in '75). Last polished, including tubes, in 1999. Pardon the spider webs - car's been parked for 4 years (but not much longer). Pat Attached image(s)
