My mate's wife did this to her then new Mercedes to get tar spots off. Oh how he laughed. In your case a can of spray clear coat from Halfords or similar should bring back the lustre.

Polishing with T-Cut or Brasso is good for bringing back the shine on local spots like that. Maybe try on one spot, and if it works, do the others, then follow it up by lightly doing the whole frame (to blend the shiny bits with the restored bits, although this will slightly dull the shine overall, and once that's done, a good going over with a liquid wax-based car polish to bring the gloss back up and help protect it.

I was cleaning up a frame with a green scrubbing pad
Use the white ones they market as safe for non-stick pans. Also, watch out for grit getting caught in the pad.

Erm, this might be better in some other thread, but title = any, so...
Over the weekend I was cleaning up a frame with a green scrubbing pad and once done I noticed that in places it's not shiny anymore. The paint is still the same colour, but I think I've rubbed off at least some of the clear coat on the main tubes. In other places it's still just as shiny as before.
What's the best way to restore the clear coat so the paint is protected and it's shiny all over?
