Cleaning exhaust off the bike
So,
I've a twin carbon underseat renegade system  sitting on my desk in need of a very good clean, is there anything anyone recommends?I tried wirewool attached to a dremel and the autoglym metal polish on my current rene high level but i wasn't 100% happy with the results (plus it took forever and scratched). Tips and hints please! thanks |

I think WD40 and a rag is also a good idea on MY Rene's.

A 3m Scotchbrite pad is like voodoo when you're bringing up dodgy metalwork... You can get them in any Homebase, they're not cheap compared to steel wool but work superbly, and last for ages.

I'll pop out and get one today, i trust they don't scratch? Furniture polish and WD40, should be a explosive mix

go to hein gericke and buy one of their polishing kits for 16 quid, and attach it to a drill, dean (carlesschucca) or one of the other ecosse posse will be along to tell you how shiny mines turned out
 and trust me, it looked like it had been sunk in a tank of salty water for a year previous to using it |
