Another question, does anyone have marks on their frames? I have the graphite frame and I have water marks on it. I scrubbed the hell out of it but cant get the drip marks off. anyone have a way to buffer this out???
I know i can repaint it, but that would be a huge job.
You could try a really fine abrasive with a light pressure. I personally haven't tried it on my frame but on the windshield of my car, I use Bon Ami, to get rid of hard water stains and stuff the carwash cant get off..
I would try something like that before moving up to anything harsher. when all else fails, American Sportsbike has the frame paint in a rattle can.
it would help if you posted a picture but... this is what i would try to do. use concentrate simple green and go 1/2 and 1/2 spray it on and let it sit for about 10 min then spray it off dry it then use pig spit.that should bring it back to the original color then the next time you wash your bike put some turtle wax on the frame don't use any abrasives that will only scratch the paint.
ill try and get a picture. I would paint it, but that would require a huge take down of the bike and its riding season! im not giving the bike up for anymore then a day.
i had some ish on my frame and just for the hell of it used the "mr. clean magic eraser!" and bam! that thing is the ****! took four or five ofem off! still have a few spots, but hey, two minute effort turned out good!
it almost looks like i got gas on the frame without realizing it. Its just a water mark.
would that work for this? and it wont damage the paint on the frame?"mr. clean magic eraser!"
there is no need to paint it. post the pictures and we can work from there
The first pic has what looks like maybe gas that got on the frame. and the second one, i dont know what its from, its right behind the frame puck. Any idea how to buff these out?
try a fine swirl removing compound...meguire's 2.0, do that whole side of the frame.... if by hand doesnt work, use a buffer. it'll come out.
alright ill try. I tried buffing it out with lucas car wax/ detailer, but it didnt work.
