eskimo Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 A chemical of some kind and iron wool? Don't brush to heavy though, your laquer won't be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikerider Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 I'm guessing this is the aluminium corrosion stuff that appears on all bare alu if it's left exposed for a while? I think this is what I have occuring on my motorbikes spokes. If it is, get some solvol and polish it off.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotchDave Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 quick way to check if it is aluminium oxide, take a small scraping, see if it reacts with acid (aka vinegar) and alkali aka soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
