Guys (and gals), please help me, I have a problem. I normally apply alloy wheel cleaner to my fairings etc. prior to washing my beloved bike as it cleans really well. Yesterday it was quite windy when I was doing it and some of the alloy cleaner accidentally sprayed onto my handlebars. The bars are fine but the black housings for the lights and indicator switches caught some of it and are now covered in white speckles. I havent tried anything on it yet and thought I would seek the guidance of any of you experts who may have had similar problems. I'm gutted because otherwise my SV is totally immaculate and I take great pride in keeping it looking good. Any help or guidance to help me remove these marks would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks
Chris

Bit of Mr Sheen should do the trick.

I wouldn't use wheel cleaner on your plastics though!!?

Mr Sheen for that as well.

PS Welcome.

If mr sheen dont do it then you could try WD40 on a rag - makes black plastic look shiney.

Dont use wheel cleaner on the fairing!
