DUST?

Well, the paint has faded considerably in some places; you can see the 'imprints' of the shifter band and pieces of tape and such. I've managed to bring back some of the original luster by a little light polishing, but I'm reluctant to go all out with the industrial strength compounds because I want to leave some paint on the frame as well.
