Spent a good amount of time polishing up my Cinelli 1a stem and Cinelli Pista bars. The clamp area was really nicked up and in bad condition. Without removing the shield engraving, I was able to clean it up pretty well. Now I just need to go over it one more time. Pics to come once they're on the Merckx.
Maybe I'll post a tutorial on how to polish stems in the near future if there's any interest.

Cool. I have a 110 NOS Cinelli 2a that'd be perfect. I'll work on a tutorial next week.

For car wheel lip polishing, but it's the same concept, you can skip the air craft stripper though, if you do decide to use it, be careful, that shit hurts, and is super toxic.
