    Restore paint

    Was interested in finding out what "glaze" you were referring to. I am a little clueless in this area (and many other areas as well). Thanks in advance for any feedback. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Paint cleanup

    I have a pre-war girls bike with paint that I would like to preserve. It has some light surface rust here and there where there are scratches and overall dinginess. Any suggestions from the DIY experts to help with a paint refreshing that will not hurt the original paint job? Sent from my...
