Brown oxidisation marks?
« on: September 25, 2008, 10:37 PM »
Just wondered if any of you have come across brown marks forming on paintwork - looks like oxidisation.

I have a really nice pair of Hutch bars - white powdered - that have developped this minor brown speckling. I'd like to be able to clean this off some how rather than go for a re-powder - I'll do some pictures and post them here later on, but in the meantime does this ring any bells with anyone? If so any ideas how do I sort this annoyance out please?

Many thanks

 :)

they might not be but ive had that b4 and they fell to bits after a while
spray some wax oil down the ends and flush it out or wd40
if rusty stuff comes out  then ya know

Try and polish them out with T-Cut ... if that don't shift the marks then go for fresh powder  :daumenhoch:
