    Looks nice - until it oxidises or gets muddy, tainted by the 1970's pedal somewhat!

    Car polish will hold it off for a while, a friend has a raw frame and uses car polish and then just the occasional rub down with 4000grit.

    Sounds like a nice low maintenance alternative to... no maintenance at all then.
    If you're polishing your bike, you're probably not using it for it's intended purpose :lol:
