The Aftermath of Smokin' em
Went for a little cruise today and got a little on the wild side. Laid down the tracks of the L, if u know what i mean. I pull in the garage and see all of the asphalt and rubber caked on the back ground effects. What do you people use to take this ish off?? It seems pretty caked on their and a wet rag didn't work the least bit to remove it.

I went out to find some stuff that would do the job and came across a "Bug and Tar" remover. This did the job after about 5 times of spraying it and letting it oak for about five minutes. I've learned my lesson. If i go out and smoke em again ill throw some light-adhesive tape on the back ground effects.

HI!... I use a product called "GOOF OFF". I t literly disolves the rubber instantly. Then I use WD-40 to remove it from the paint and clean up with WINDEX. I had my work cut out for me after that BURNOUT VIDEO I posted in GENERAL DISCUSSIONS last week! It took me about 1 hour to get all the rubber off!LOL! I should of sprayed some "PAM" cooking spray on the rear 1/4's before I did that burnout!LOL!

Any general bug and tar remover will work, with a cotton towel of course.

Go to your local Honda motorcycle shop and pick up a can of Pro Honda Spray Cleaner & Polish. It literally dissolves any kind of road grime, tar, rubber, etc, from the paint. It also works great to dissolve bugs front the front end. I used to use it on my street bike and it is to be used on every part of the bike including paint, chrome, plastic, plexiglas, headlights, decals, etc etc. It has never harmed the paint on anything I have used it on.
