Is it right it doesn't touch decals too if you do the whole frame???

Dave's got a point, anyone know?

I used this goose frame as a river jumper into Salt water !!! It was pretty bad. After a few days (3) it needed a little rub (who doesn't?) and it now blings. I dont have any pics but I'll get some.
Dont put aluminium parts or frames in this stuff. You'll end up with nothin!

When something rusts though doesn't the chrome pit badly?

Does this stuff stop the pitting as well?

Zippy,

If it is badly pitted you'll still have the pits but less the rust. It is vital that post this treatment the frame is also rust proofed or at the very least wd 40'd to prevent the rust re-appearing very quickly especially in the inside of tubing etc.

Am I right in thinking then that this is only an option if the frame is really bad, if it leaves it vulnerable?

My Cali frame has some rust patches, but isn't too bad. Am I better using a little Autosol, and a shed load of elbow grease?
