Getting out marks on lower fork tubes
I have a lot of marks on the aluminum lower fork tubes. Soap and a sponge does nothing. Maybe what I'm looking at is impact marks on the factory clear coat.
Is there any reason to try to protect the original clear coat or should I just blast through everything with a scotch bright scrub pad?

Here's a thread on polishing the lowers.
Or, you can replace them with chrome lowers and not need to polish them again.

I've seen Chrome rims where there are all kinds of impact marks and the chrome is peeling.

I replaced my stock lowers with the HD chrome lowers 6+ years ago and the chrome pieces still look like new after 60,000+ miles. It's now a zero maintenance item other than a bit of wax/polish when I do the rest of the bike twice a year.
