I tried overpride last night, didn't shift a thing...but it does look like annodise. I'll find the Nitromors tonight and try your suggestion Dave.

It is matt black at the moment...very strange.

Fooking Hutch shite.

BTW Rumor has it that the headlocks are magnesium not alloy - is this the case Hutch fans?

I also had same trouble with a tuf neck stem had to resort to an acid bath. Have a few litres of sulphuric acid in me workshop i could try it in if you like. Heat and acid is the trick!! Bit leery though   :shocked:
