She is cleaning up...

Hey nick -- I've got one likenthat in the same color pattern -- my question is what have you been using to clean it up and not lose the paint underneath?

 

[Jaxon]

Very cool save on that bike.

Hey nick what did you use to get that color to come back? I have one likenhat and I want to get it to come back as much as u can. Did you use fine steel wool and wd40?

 

[pholTmonx]

They do sell crazy fine grades of scotch bright... Some maybe softer than tissue, I use copper on chrome not steel wool, copper is softer is my line of thought.....
Plus around my area every corner store sells it in little pieces for some reason.

 

[Hitman44]

Yup chrome I have no problem with but paint -- I need help with the paint.

 

[Nick W]

I use super small grade stee wool, and water ,wd40, or electric cleaner just depends on what i have

 

[pholTmonx]

Electric cleaner....tell us more...

 

[Hitman44]

Ya -- what is up with electric cleaner?

 

[Nick W]

I was experimenting with parts cleaning methods, and i decided to try electric parts cleaner. It gave it a nice shine, and just made it brighter in my opinion. Its a good last step after water or wd40. Its not cheap, thats why i dont do it often. But different companies use different components. You should be able to find one that works. I usually get a spray on one that just wipes off

 

[N2STUFF]

I have seen people use automatic transmission fluid to fill in scratches and bring back the shine. Then wipe it all off and wax. On my Harley I would use Lemon pledge to wax and wipe off.
