Whats the best thing for cleaning exhaust
What do people use to clean original exhaust system?
Have been using Autosol all over, but just been told its too harsh. True? |

Re: Whats the best thing for cleaning exhaust
well like all things it greatly depends on where you start from, if you have a barely used bike, then it's only a matter of "polishing it up" and autosolve works fine, however if you use your bike and you have that buildup of the brown stuff, then ally wheel cleaner and a scothbright pad works well to get most of it off without to much elbow grease.
Cheers Mark.

Re: Whats the best thing for cleaning exhaust
Technically you're supposed to use 'autosol - fine' on the can I think...but that could well just be to put more cash in autosols pockets.
