IIRC the VO fenders have a satin rather than a highly polished finish. So don't polish them. Don't even worry about keeping them clean. Let them look a bit oxidized, like the old Lefols would do. That look goes splendidly well with a frame that shows signs of hard use, sort of like a weather-beaten old cowboy. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
