My bike was used when i bought it and the guy that had it before me must of taken horrible care of it. I have come to believe he kept it outside. Well the reason why i believe so is that practially all the metal peices of the bike have a water mark to them, its quite hard to explain. the metal looks dirty all the time, even though i try and clean it. here i will post a picture and if anyone could please tell me how to remove this stuff that would be great. thanks

Yeah, I have the same oxidizing near the rear shock assembly which looks yuck.
I would like to use autosol in that area but it's a bit of an awkward spot to get in there and really scrub hard. Also you don't really wanna get metal polishes on painted or other finished surfaces. It's a tricky one, I reckon the best time to have a go at it is when your chain/sprockets are off for replacement.
