| Mothers has worked well for me, or never dull... but I gave up on polishing them...they seem to rust easier. I either leave them as is, or powder coat them.

If you are up for the work, it isn't all that hard. I used the Dremel polishing wheels and compound first. Then went onto a cotton buffing wheel using the same dremel compound. Finally did a coat of Never Dull to clean off any traces of the compound. Finished off with a coat of auto wax. My frame was beautiful. If i can find the pic I had of a before and after, it usually speaks for itself. As to rust, I didn't have that much problem with it rusting afterwards, but I usually inspected the frame after the days run and cleaned off all the crap.

The only reason why I would restore a bruiser chassis is to put a fresh coat of paint on it.
