I remember using it when I worked in a machine shop, to polish bare metal and metal that had been on a surface grinder.
Does the swingarm have a 'coating' (for want of a better word) on it?

It won't 'scratch it,' but it will 'remove' anything that is on the swingarm (i.e. paint, laquer etc

) It should polish up lovely

Ooh, tip for you IanSV... Halfords sell a peg spanner for a fiver that very nearly fits on the castellated nut on the swingarm axle, couple of minutes with a grinder'll have it fitting a charm.
