The wheels have been cleaned, the frame is washed, the brakes as well. The chrome has gotten attention. I haven't serviced anything yet. Everything spins as they should, the freewheel is Dura Ace.

Most of issues of clean boiled down to failing clear coat, it's become glazed, is chipping susceptible to stain, and is no longer protection for the chrome. If anything the clear is encapsulating oxidation and tinted with ingrained dirt. I've been scratching and rubbing the clear with just a wet paper cloth. I need to be careful at the fade. I've gotten most of the seattube chrome taken care of, I may still come out with my linen tester to detail around the branding.
