How to Clean an Old La Champion Frame?

Hi,
I need to clean up my old steel frame. What products are best for that? I come the motorcycle world, I just sold three Ducs, I know how to clean the ABS fairings, lol!

@LaChamp1976 - I know you are new and welcome. Search is your friend. This topic has been addressed many times. Read some of the threads addressing building up a bike. There are lots of them.

Other than recommending the Search function, which has more than 2 decades of information answering (multiple times) almost every post you've made thus far, you may want to read this thread from someone in a similar situation, but with a high-end Viner:

https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-v...fessional.html (Read reply # 8 and 22 for info you're asking here)

Also this thread, make sure to read reply # 4:

https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-v...ion-viner.html

And a piece of advice: You may have a Le Champion, not "La" Champion.
