What's the best way to polish this frame, Solvol and rag doesn't touch it and i'm not too sure about wire wool, etc. Would you use a drill with a polisher on the end and if so what exactly would you attach to the drill? What fitment and which polish itself?
Thanks.

There is probably a coat of incredibly tough clear lacquer on it which will have to be removed before polishing

From what i have read, the MC22 has an anodised frame, so you will have to try and sand through that first before polishing

I know this doesn't answer your question, but I had mine sand blasted then powder coated, as the alternative was significantly more work.

Sorry, not very helpful! Good luck

Nooo, don't do it!

The stock finish is lovely.
