mightysaints Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I have polished the engine cases and rocker cover to a nice finish but keep having to clean as they are not protected. What's the best way to keep then clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 no easy way wash and polish them or paint them again if someone says lacquer them you are wasting your time it wont stick and will peel plus it will probably go yellow too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Solvol Autosol has some kind of protection built in......but it doesn't last too long.......dunno if any of the resin polishes like Autoglym resin polish would be any better? Don't know how it would be on hot engine parts..... Or maybe even ACF50?Think it'll be a case of trying stuff out and seeing how it goes........

dieffe Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Belgom Alu is very good and does leave a protective coating which does last for a while.When the alloy becomes dirty, clean with wet wipe and re-do the Belgom Alu.It's what I use all the time. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v161/dieffe123/Bikes/PICT0031.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
