Does anyone know if Marin's Quad FRS frames are anodized or painted?
When I am servicing my bike, I'd like to be able to polish up the
frame. But, I'm not sure if I should use Pedro's Bike Lust on it. I'd
think Bike Lust is intended for painted frames and may have adverse
effects if my frame is anodized.

I don't know if your bike is anodized or not, but if it is, the Pedro's it's
unlikely to have much effect on it.

My Zaskar LE is anodized and the best way I've found to make it shiny is to
spray it with GT85 (or whatever) and wipe it over with an oily rag, Lot
cheaper than the overpriced Pedro's tat anyway.

It seems like cleaning my bike with a lubricant and wiping it with an
oily rag would be counter-productive.

There must be something out there I can use to clean my matte finish bike.

For cleaning, yes. It'll make a mess. But you were asking about polishing.
Or were you?

A piece of information that would have been handy in your first post.

Enjoyed that "Wear Your Helmet" bit, Mary Schmich.

Sorry, I used the word polish loosely. I meant clean.

I piece of information that was in my first post. I think my frame may
be anodized - but I'm not sure. Anodization leaves a matte finish. I'd
like to apply something to the frame that will keep it clean and
protect the finish, but I need to know what I'm dealing with first.
