The nylon bushes are good, but you can also get felt polishing pads for a Dremmel which are small enough to fit between fins on a M900 from eBay. Use these with autosol you will have no problem getting the results you want.

Staybright cloth is brilliant, can be rolled around bar etc use with TCut. That's what I use.

Dishwasher salt turns alloy a very dull grey.... as I found out by putting my coffee pot in... I’m still polishing it back to bright a week later
I used to have a small table top dishwasher that I ran salt free much better

Thanks to all for these tips. I would have tried a brass wire brush if I had not been warned.
I have wire wool, Scotchbrite, toothbrushes, cup brushes, Dremel, Autosol and T-cut so plenty of options. Yes the dishwasher salt did turn it a dull grey Pedro, but I still think it was worth a punt. Unfortunately I have run right out of spare time with so much work piled up, so it will be a while before I can look at this again, by which time Vapour blasting might be available again so that would still be my first option. I think I will squirt it with WD-40 to stop it going white and put it away. Thanks again guys..
