    Yesterday i removed all my fairings, front fender, and both wheels to start doing some much needed winter service and theres rubber debris in every little nook and cranny from the gas tank back, and inside the front fender

    This is not going to be fun to clean up................:tongue:

    pick up from aluminum pre-cleaner and do everything (engine block included) works great!
    Flitz Aluminum Pre-Clean

    make sure you wash off completely

    wondering if that would peel the paint from my wheels? I need to find something that will get the 20 years of brake junk off of the rims....

    it said it was safe on painted surfaces, try it on something similar first to verify it will work

    yeah it did say that. But what concerns me is that it will work too well the bike is an 86...... i guess if it peels the paint off I can always get them redone.....
