Hi Venonsnake and welcome in. Wow that's a handle and a half !!

For cleaning alloy cases the best single product I've found is Solvol Autosol.

Hi Venomsnake welcome, I think there was a discussion in an earlier thread about this, I think Wayne Taylor might have been involved so maybe he'll get back to you.

 

Hi and welcome

 

Hi and welcome to the forum

 

Welcome and your answer is here, t cut and a Dremel with a polishing head on will strip back to a nice shine. If it's pitted then a product call rub n buff on eBay or any art shop which fills rough areas with coloured pigment and buffs to a shine. Enjoy the forum. Eric

 

It almost certainly is, that's why need to remove the laquer before you can clean up the ally. Once you've got the ally as you want it, either leave it naked and clean it often or laquer it again to protect the surface.

 

Welcome Venomsnake. I've got that job to do on my Bonnie too.

 

Tell you what, I'll pop over the your place and you can practice on mine before doing yours.

 

Well, it's either work with it on the bike with 1000 wet n dry and t cut just doing a local repair or take off and paint stripper all the item, remove any pitting with wet n dry and polish to death.
The problem is when painting a casing in colour etch primer can be used so no problem, when using a clear coat then no etch is used as it would be seen so it doesn't stick as well.

 

type that again when your sober

 

Welcome Snake when its clean you don't then want to use it, that's my problem.

Hi Venom. Welcome in you jammy sod. My daughters bloke has just got his sticky mitts on 1960's model that's been hiding at the back of a shed for yonks and is pretty much the same state. Enjoy.
