Bill-V8V Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Did it dry on there ? What have you tried so far, MP #1 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Looks to be a brushed aluminum finish... if it hazed either the cleaner was used while the surface was hot or allowed to dry. Either way the fix is to polish. With that kind of brushed appearance on it you'll need to work metal polish WITH the grain. If you work across the grain you'll make a bigger issue.

NightMare Silverado Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 I spent a good 20 min on it with MP and it came out. Just sucked cuz I'm the "detailing guy" and screwed it up lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightMare Silverado Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 Ya he had washed his bike with dish soap and passed the baggie test. We didn't gave time to really polish it so I wiped it down with WCW cleaned the grease off the metal and sprocket. Then I wiped it down with BW and sprayed all plastic with in&out. When I was done he said "dam now I don't even wanna ride it". He's teaching me to ride on dirtbikes because I really wand a nice 600-750 gsxr/cbr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
