Use steel wool with the polish. |

It will turn back to how it is quick, maybe you should look into a Jet-Hot coating. But if you really want to polish it, I found Heavy Metal brand polish to work well. For the pipes I found ripping a towel into strips, coating them with the polish, looping them around the pipes, and working them back and forth - like a wire saw or a shoe shine boy in a 30's movie - works well. This worked well to polish out some fine gouging on a lower fork leg too, kept the piece round and no leaks now. |

Dj use Eagle One medal polish or Flitz polish and apply with paper towel rub it on real good then remove it with a nice soft terry cloth.It will work great. |
