Purplejack,
Congrats!!
Hope you have a heated garage because you are going to be spending a lot of time there just looking at your new bike I know I did. A lot of us did. 
So what is SOLVO AUTOSOL ?

It is very aggressive metal polish that has been around for decades. We used it during the British bike era to polish the alloy primary chain covers and such to make them look like chrome. I have turned a lot of torn T-shirts black using this stuff.

I'm picturing some combination of both activities, combined with running an occasional lap or two around the neighborhood to relieve excessive excitement. Don't forget to breathe.
Congratulations!

About 15 years ago, I came across Wenol ([url=http://wenol-polish.com/]HERE) at one of those car show booths. Amazing stuff. It is what I use on my headers. Used to buy it by the case, and peddle it to my riding buddies. Down to my last tube and a half, so guess it is soon time for some more!
