Hi folks,

I am almost to the completion of the restoration of my factory S1S. This has taken years longer than planned, but that is the nature of the beast.

Anyway, I was looking at the flying wires. They are stainless look to be in pretty good condition. I wanted to clean and polish them up. I can't find anything on the web or here about what are the appropriate and safe practices. I polished my RV-8 but suspect a different approach is appropriate for stainless flying wire. Any suggestions?
