Use swivel's coke n foil thread here : http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=52096.0

I substituted the coke for lemon juice and that worked quite well take a look here : http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=90497.0

Then buff with autosol and then polish with peek  :)

Job done  :daumenhoch:
