F4iBunny Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 So I'm trying to clean up my bike. Right now I'm just wiping her down with a wet cloth then with a dry cloth and that seems to be working on the faring etc. Mostly just removing general dust, dirt, bugs. Is there a better way to do this? What I'm really wondering, is what is the best thing for cleaning the exhaust pipes? They just have some oily stuff on them plus some scuffs from my boots. I have the GooGone stuff that I used to remove the sticker residue from the faring but didn't know if that was ok on the metal. Thx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProudPops Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Honda spray polish! Works on everything. You can get it at Iron Pony, ask for Clutch, he's the one that turned me on to it. And yes, it is back, Honda just took their name off of it. Everyone there knows what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbret Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 My wife is the one asking the question so if you all give her good answers perhaps she will enjoy cleaning her bike so much she will do mine to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XB12Ss Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 I found that absolute best thing to clean a bike. Its called Kristen, you could try your wife or girlfriend and probably get some good results LOL!!!I use any number of random bug and tar removers, quality car wash soap, and lotsa soft cloths. Engine degreaser is money for goo on metal parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motorsal Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 I use s100 on my sporty...Be careful on what you use on the painted surfaces... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman88210 Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Alot of the "sprays" out there are NOT the best thing for your paint. Good old fashion soap and water is pretty much the best thing, especially if you have paint you really like, ie custom.... And just like xb said, lots of SOFT cloths!!

F4iBunny Posted July 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 The Honda polish cleaned the oily stuff off the exhaust. What took the scuff marks off was the Goo Gone. It was scuffed from my boots and I guess the rubber kinda cooked onto it when it heated up. But last night I used the goo gone as soon as I got home while the exhaust was still hot and it came of in seconds. Polished up real nice with the Honda stuff tho. Nice! Thanks! I'm off to clean Bret's bike now! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
