True it does take alot to keep it looking good, and like you said can be done yourself with very few supplies and ALOT of time and Patience. It can pretty much be done with sandpaper steel wool and a nice rubbing and polishing compound

Its easy, follow these steps and it will stay looking good for a looooong time.All I used was a drill w/ sanding disks and a palm sander.

Re: frame polishing

yea i was thinking about doin it myself but i didint know if it would be worth it or not, and the reason im doing it is to get it anodised red and the anodizing place said that it should be polished if i want it to be real shiny.
