My bike doesn't look that great to begin with.  I don't have that much time & elbow grease.  It sits outside under a tarp all year round in central Pa. (not conducive to gloss)

Once I have a decent paint job, I'll worry about the shine.

I'll have to try a little WD-40 for the halibut

Had fun riding tdy

Kim, that is exactly what I've been using so far, but it doesn't make my rims shine. It is pretty good stoping the rust... I love it just for that.

To heck with all of that work. I just use WD-40 and a rag on it. Some of you got too much time on your hands...;) It shines it up and stops the rust. HotrodMamma.

Subject: Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] I'm gonna practice painting on side-panel's 1st

I can do that too.  I have my trusty ole pocket knife right here ;)  With this poor bike I'll be picking for a while... you think this will qualify me as a legitimate Picker and Grinner?  ;)
 
Do you use the steel wook in conjunction with anything else to reduce friction?  Like soap or anything else?

No, fine doesn't, but try it in an obscure place first.   If there are rust spots 'dots' I often just pick them off with a razor blade or point of a knife.

Really...??...  I would have thought it would scratch up the chrome, it doesn't?

fine steel wool does a good job.

Speaking of painting and fixing up...  Is there anyway to clean up the chrome after a bike has sat for YEARS...???  It's got little tiny rust sposts here and there and I'm really not sure what to do with it or if anything really can be done at all...

If I could get the fender's off easily I'd do them
