Getting there! The first time is ALWAYS the hardest.
Once the heavy stuff is off, every once in a while will keep them looking good...
Great thread, so I will pose a Q here; My pipes were likely never cleaned when I bought the bike last year (filthy, looked like I'd been out supermotoing with it!), and I just hit them with an hours worth of elbow grease and Mothers mag. The 1 and 4 pipes are pretty decent, 2 and 3 (getting more road grime) are still pretty bad, and overall many patches of discoloration still exist. Basically I polished up the stains, LOL.
I saw some say no to sandpaper, then others saying 1200 wet grit paper worked wonders. (and appeared so too)
I'm thinking I need to hit it with something else 'once' to get then clean, then Mothers will keep em polished.
Can anyone chime in? Is 1200 grit wet paper clear to use w/o scratching them up? Or something else possibly?
"Mothers Mag and Aluminum polish" and a bunch of elbow grease with a micro fiber cloth...
NO STEELWOOL or light sandpaper... A buffing wheel is fine too.
Is there any point to doing this other than aesthetics? .
