    Dropout protectors

    thanks...speaking of scrubbing, what do you recommend to scrub the frame with? I love the patina, but I'd like to remove the grime and bring some life back to the paint. ive been in the custom paint business for decades, but this is quite different. I dont want to polish it. Any suggestions?
