Autosol is what you want to "polish" a raw frame, but to be honest its alot of work to polish one. I would just roll it as it is, and take off any marks with more wire wool!

One of [url= http://www.perfectpolishingkits.com/index1.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD1&ProdID=66&mancode=&Category=101&lob=1&pc=1 ]THESE[/url] will bring it up a treat.
For chain / seat stays some 3ft lengths of soft cotton bed sheet make it a lot easier where the soft mop wheels cant get.
