I used wet and dry paper on mine and then lacqured it. Looked good for about a month and then went rusty so don't bother! If you really wanted to you could get a bit of stainless rod and the correct taps and make a stainless adjuster. Depends how mad you are though :lol

Strage his it went rusty with lacquer?

Usually the result of bad prep, sorry his dudeness, and it blooms up form inside.

So five minutes of sanding and two light coats of rattle can lacquer isn't a professional job? :lol

I keep my bike fairly clean but I think polishing a daily runner is a total waste of time there's no way you can keep it shiny unless you're out every other day polishing it. Don't bother you'll only regret it in the long run
