i can not thank u enough mpierich. thank u very much for your input and sharing some of your experiences. love this forum, and i hope i get better and better at this polishing thing. thank u again. i will use your method on my frame
p.s., what i just did was use a polish that i had sitting here. almost a rubbing compound, but very mild i used for polishing, and that seemed to get ALOT of **** off that i thought i got off using my laquer thinner(guess i was wrong). i mean the rag was black even after the laquer. so any other newer guys reading this, using a polish or something with a mild mild mild grit, works great also with getting rid of that cloudy ****.
