nhchris Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 You mean the wheels? "Blurple" is used to describe this color. On rear I use a degreaser.

bowlin01 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Hi all, what’s the best way to clean the paintwork on a blue GT cheers Hi, This is the method I use, I find that the Phantom Blue paintwork doesn't require any special treatment, it comes up lovely! I still can't seem to attach images to posts, but here's a link to my blue GT freshly washed, the blue looks mighty fine!!!

Supporting Member roadrash83 Posted November 13, 2018 Supporting Member Share Posted November 13, 2018 Honda Spray. Cleaner and Polish. IMO the best. You need to try Harley Davidson spray cleaner and polish, does a better job than Hondas. Remember they supply the pirate polishing society He who dies with the most toys wins.

Remember they supply the pirate polishing society My dad told me the same thing. I told him No thanks and to try Honda. Well now that’s all he buys. With that being said I will try it now a second person says so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikerdup Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 The absolute best way I have found to remove bugs and road grime from the finish is with medium grit sandpaper. This works especially well on face shields Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugie Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 To me it seems that this us only half the process. How do you get rid of stubborn stains like the chain spray and brake dust on the wheels? Or clean the chain? I personally use WD40 sprayed on a cloth but am curious as to how other people go about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally use WD40 sprayed on a cloth but am curious as to how other people go about it? The Honda polish gets it all. For dried bugs on the windshield levers cables and such I wet al paper towel and drape it over it for a few minutes to rehydrate the bugs and wipe right off. The chain I use a potent chain degreaser and a chain brush for my dirt bike. I use WD on my chain guard and under the rear hugger to help keep the crap from sticking.

I personally use WD40 sprayed on a cloth but am curious as to how other people go about it?I use WD40 to clean the rear wheel. I then wipe it down with water or use something like the Honda spray polish & cleaner afterwards. I find that most other products struggle with getting the chain fling off the wheels. I've done this for years on various bikes and it works fine. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
