You ever use this stuff Marty? I bought it ages ago but I've never tried it.
MEK is my choice for stuff melted onto hot stuff. It wipes it right off and won't eat aluminum.About using domestic cleaning products on your bike,
Kleenoff and other oven-cleaning products work great for taking burnt-on lubricants & melted-on synthetic boot soles off exhaust systems
but those products are highly alkaline. They'll also do a great job of dissolving aluminum engine cases.
Is that a desktop pc in your garage? I've often wondered how some of you guys get stuff done and are on here often. Lol
Yeah. Learned years ago how useful it is having a computer out here. Had to replace the motor drives on the rear windows of my wife's Grand Prix. Watched a Youtube video of it and figured I'd pause it, go out in the garage, do that step, back to play, pause, back out in the garage..... rinse and repeat. Then I remembered I had an old PC boxed up down in the basement. Set it up in the garage and it's been useful ever since. Manuals, parts catalogues.... looking at the right part to order. Don't know what I'd do without it out here now.Is that a desktop pc in your garage? I've often wondered how some of you guys get stuff done and are on here often. Lol
Evapo-Rust works well.
For anything delicate, Evapo-Rust, Metal Rescue or one of the other chelating agents is the best choice. The down side is it would take five or six gallons of it the way I'm doing that fender. If phosphoric acid doesn't affect the chrome, this is a lot cheaper, a whole lot cheaper.Evapo-Rust works well.
When I resurrected my XS2 Evapo-Rust is what I used. When doing rims and fenders I did them a section at a time. The only chrome it discolored was the fork tubes.For anything delicate, Evapo-Rust, Metal Rescue or one of the other chelating agents is the best choice.

Ya, it's good stuff, assuming it's the same as Metal Rescue.When I resurrected my XS2 Evapo-Rust is what I used. When doing rims and fenders I did them a section at a time. The only chrome it discolored was the fork tubes.
I have Used this and now I use Metal Rescue. Very safe. Will not lift good paint. Works best at 80-90 degrees.
They also have a gel. Have not tried it yet.Ya, it's good stuff, assuming it's the same as Metal Rescue.
I went after the chrome blisters with wire brush and put the fender back in the acid solution. I'll pull it in the morning.
The brass bristle brush does not. The stainless steel brush does scratch. In this case it doesn't matter. The worst parts will be under the seat. If I leave the blisters, I expect rust to grow under them. I'm not sure if I'll use this fender. Maybe I'll investigate powder on it.What do you mean hear. Wouldn't a wire brush scratch the chrome badly?
Amazing product. Have used it for many years. Not as hazardous as using acid products.
