    @@gmcharlton Your timing is perfect. I ordered some wheel buffers from Amazon and used a Japanese buffing compound that I had used before. It turned out well but I need to try and keep up with it.

    Ha ! 😂 nice. Mine weren't as bad as yours. I've got a severe case of Bike OCD ! I use about a 2ft length of cloth x 6" fold it down about 2" wrap it twice round the pipe and use Autosol crome polish and pull it backwards n forwards polishing the full circumference of the pipe. I use the same method on End Can on my GS but with a Single.... works a treat 👍

    That's close to my spoke method using string socked in ACF50. I just use autosol on my end can.

    I use Autosol as well and have been happy with the results. I have used long white gym socks and split them length wise to make a longer buffing cloth.

    The top of headers start to yellow again fairly quickly - a few months. So it something to keep as part of routine cleaning. It was about 2 years since I had last done it.

    You are damaging your stainless steel. Harpic contains hydrochloric acid which dissolves the nickel in the stainless steel.

    It is well rinsed off and I don't recommend doing this every week. Thanks for your comment.
