Probably. Try a small, out of the way area. If it stays white when your rubbing it in, its lacquered. so STOP.

If however it starts going black, then rub
, rub, rub and rub some more till ya fingers sore. Then rub more.

or cheat and get a nice felt wheel for a drill. Mind the spatter though.

a dremel or rotary tool is good to use on those awkward nooks and crannies. for best results with autosol, you need to use a power tool, autosol's at its most effective when used at speed.
have fun with that.... :thumbup:

Marty is quite right. Luckily i have access to such machinery through my day job.

Bit ffs dont use ya dremel on the main bulk of the frame. It polishes unevenly and takes a lot of skill to blend it evenly due to the of the tiny head.

i personally use a 2" felt wheel on a variable speed grinder (polisher)
