I gave my new extralight its first bath the other night.
It wasn't heavily soiled so I just wiped it down with
a damp cloth. It dried with a "splotchy" finish, so I
used a little soap (the mild, biodegradeable stuff
recommended in the owner's manual)on the top tube to
see if it would make a difference. The top tube is
noticeably brighter but there are still a few "splotches."
I would appreciate any tips any of you could share with
me on how to clean my Merlin so that the tubes are
clean, spot-free, and of uniform brightness.
