If the clear coat is the same as mine was, rubbing/polishing compound or Simichrome will be way too laborious. This stuff was TOUGH! Even with the alcohol helping to dissolve it, it took a lot of scrubbing with the bronze wool to get it all off. I stayed away from the decals. I have replacements and may eventually replace them, or I may just get rid of them altogether. I haven't decided yet so the originals remain on the bike for now. No guaranteeing that Talewind's bike has the same clear coat that mine had though.
