    Just stripped an anodised black Nicolai Helius that I’m hoping to sell* but it looks rubbish. It looks great while it’s wet but terrible as soon as it dries, any top tips?

    *Not a stealth ad – no-one here would want a 26er

    Gt85 here, same as wd40. Matt black car paint from Halfords also good for touching up the paint work. Top tip from Chainline that one.
    What size is it? Might be interested 😉
