Mag and Alu polish.

Stopped in Wally World for some lantern mantels and Simple Green, ran across the polishing compounds. Hmmm.... I heard Mothers was pretty good. $4.97 in a 4oz tub. Ok. Mostly wanted to use on the paddle rim since the spokes are so oxidized and now add sea salt to that. Never seen gray spokes before. Wow some shine came back, I bet if I could buff them with some kind of tool it would way better.

Now it gets better, Brit saw how trashed with rust the pipe looked after one day. Scotch brite and Sim Green first to get the rust off. Then mothers. :shock: Man I'm way impressed, some parts of the pipe are new looking. Then I started to get carried away with it, the frame, clutch cover.

To clean / polish the spokes, go get some shoelaces. Get some mothers on them, wrap the spoke a few times.... then use the ol' " Push / Pull" and BINGO, clean spokes!
