As I wrote: nylons/pantyhose  ;)
Long, stretchy, really rigid hence abrasive fabric... easy to wrap around things and polish in back and forth motion... brilliant for spokes, fork tubes...

Thanks ST1100,

Thats a good idea, I like the lateral thinking.  Going to put it on the list and see if my wife has a good stock of used ones to recycle my way. !!

Cheers ;) :)

Does anyone know of a spray solution that would chemically clean and wash off without being too invasive ?

Dunno if "descaling" agents like Cilit Bang are not too aggressive for aluminum...

I would imagine that any degreaser ( eg Muc-Off) would be a good place to start.

Pretty sure a toothbrush and Solvol were involved when I did mine, plus bruised and scratched fingers.
