Gave her a proper spit and polish this afternoon. Had to seek out all those little spots and get her shining!! Even have the rims shining now!!
After all, she deserves the TLC

WOW! Mine will come out of hibernation at some point, and will need a similar treatment. That HAD to take few hours... Very nice job.

What did you use on the rims and lower bits? Interested as those suffer the most.

Wow, looks great! My finish doesn't look nearly that good, but that's what years of riding will do to a bike.

Ours have been sitting in the basement out of the weather and still don't look that nice! Good job!
