Just passing on a bit of hard won information.... The top tree is hard anodized,,,, so if you try to spot sand and polish any corrosion off, it makes a mess. Once you start, the only option is doing every mm, and the anodizing is a mil or two deep!! It took three grades of wet sandpaper  and time on the buffing wheel,,, three or four hours for me!!! I was not ready for that,, good thing there is a tube in the shop, and there was a copy of Giant to watch.




The most expensive things you will purchase, are those things you would not have needed if you had listened and obeyed.

It does polish up nice doesn't it.............
I had mine done.
I didn't have the energy myself.
