I am trying to clean-up an original Birmabrite rear blade and flap to fit on a concours Shadow. There are no dents or deep gouges and no non-standard holes - so its a nice one. And anyway, I don't want to use a repro replacement one. But it has suffered the ravages of time over the decades and the surface is potmarked with what I assume is salt-corrosion (back when bikes were used as year-round transport I guess). I have spent all afternoon wearing-out my hands with 320 wet and dry, but there is no real improvement to the corrosion marks on the guard.
Am I missing something? Is there an easier way to do this? Any constructive tips gratefully received.
