I rubbed on a hand glazing polish following to bring out a nice even sheen. Might be wise to avoid or use extreme caution around decals especially edges. (Perhaps you could try technique on a less conspicuous area first to get used to it.)

Yep, I may give it a try, depending on how it actually looks from a few feet in natural light (last nite/this morn, all I had was a bright shop light and close up views). Just wanted to report on the question about the flow.
As long as it doesn't look horrid, I'll probably just leave it. The areas that orange peeled noticeably will be covered with bottle holders and the bike itself is just an old MTB destined for a rough/off road touring machine, it isn't going to stay pretty for long anyhow!
