Make It Shiny...On Second Thoughts...
When I was a lad, I invested a significant proportion of my ‘spends’ on Solvol Autosol. This was a magic smooth white goop that arrived in a natty gold and black tube and put a lovely shine on polished alloy and chromed components. I stripped the paint and lacquer off most of the alloy parts on my CB160 and then spent a not inconsiderable bit of my waking hours maintaining that mirror finish, incidentally the cloth of choice to apply the aforesaid and buff to extreme shininess was unquestionably cotton Winceyette, as in old pyjamas. Nowadays I don’t enjoy the mind numbing, fingerprint erasing torture at all. I’m just not a fan of the mirror polish.
