I'm a newb to this forum, but been lurking and read this whole thread...good info and tricks. I've heard about the Maalox trick as a sub for antiseize as well.

For cleaning my brushed finish TI Litespeed I've found that auto spray quick detailer on a microfiber cloth is the best. Leaves no residue and removes the grease, grime, fingerprints and other yucky bits in a flash. Dries quickly leaving no spots. It should work well on painted frames too, since it was developed for auto finishes.
