What did you use to clean the frame? Im cleaning up a white bike RN and it has scuffs here and there. I was considering Goofoff and then white paint.

I'm sure there are numerous effective methods and obviously it depends on the condition of the bike/paint under all of the dirt and grime but I used the same approach as on the pedals. Soap and warm water to start then rinse it. Next I sprayed it down with wd40 and then hand scrubbed it. On the tough spots with grind marks, paint rub or whatever I resprayed with wd40 and just persistently scrubbed it. Works great on the decals too. Then soap and warm water and rinsed again then hand dried. Will do a final wipe down and wax it once assembled. I prefer to keep original paint so I don't paint or touch up. On any big rust spots I use rustoleum spray gel.

Almost done. Run the cables and test it out soon. Went with some cheap kendas and new A'ME grips because I'm hoping to log some miles on this one.

Looks awesome, great cleanup job. Kenda k55 are a great freestyle tire. I have many sets of them myself.

Thanks a lot. Have some time in on this one but worth it.

See you got rid of the Tioga CD!

Bike looks really good.  Damn near new.
You put the "elbow" in Elbow Grease for sure!

Wow!  Nice work, a clean all white Performer is so iconic.  That one definitely fell into the right hands
