Best product to polish an ali frame?

[cheese]

While I've got my bike in bits again, I was going to give y frame a quick polish up. I recall there was some good product that you could get fro REPCO that was good to polish Aluminum?

there is an acid based product for alloy car wheels that will save a heap of time and effort. ask at repco or others.
do a small trial first on a hidden part of the frame.
once done a coat of good old car wax will help prevent it losing its shine.

Gregs got my forks. Going to grease my steering head bearings too and thought I'd give the frame a polish.

Can't do that on an RM or YZ

theres another out there called Peek that works a treat, i got it from a mate who's a metal polisher ! He recons he's tapped into the truckies market now as they love it for polishing up the ali wheels ! www.tri-peek.com is the web addy, might have suppliers in auckland listed on there !
Think i paid 20 buck for a 100g tube which goes for miles !
edit found the nz website

we use autosolv at work on chrome bumpers, stainless mouldings, and all alloy parts, also a rubbing compound called G3 is pretty good, painters use it to buff cars.

If your just looking to return frame to standard look as apposed to actually polishing it I always just used a Scotch-Brite pad (you know, the green stuff) with the last of the soapy water.

Returns the frame to look like new.
