OK I have the Cobra slip-on and have gotten caught in the rain a few times and now the dirt etc. is baked on. Would like to clean it up but am concerned about scratching the ceramic coating.
What do other people do to get it cleaned up?

Water, then Honda spray polish.

Hey, I just got my Stryker today!! Im stoked about it. It was slightly used (only 4000km) on it!! Great deal. One question: there is some rubber melted on below the passenger pegs and I have the Cobra swept exhaust, mat black and I want to know if anyone has any suggestions about what to use to take it off without damaging it.

Any Ideas?

I have a similar problem with a hand print because I forgot to clean and wipe it down before I fired it up.

I use a ArmorAll type product..works perfect.

Lots and lots of Honda Wax after a really good wash. I actually go to the car wash around the corner and use the high pressure there. Takes the road stuff right off, and then I use about three coats of the wax. Works really well.

Try some nevr-dull. That stuff will take off just about anything.. Then a good polish. I use Griot's Garage Chrome Polish, but it looks like they don't sell it any more...

I use nevr-dull on chrome. That stuff works like magic. For the blacked out pipes, we will have to try the Honda cleaner.

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just say no to high pressure water... (Just my opinion though!!! :tongue

B-Mac has black pipes. Don't think Never dull would be good.
Try heating up the pipes and wiping them with a soft cloth.

Yeah, my reading comprehension is very low early in the morning... I didn't realize that at first..... BUT for those of us with CHROME, it's a great idea!!!:behindsofa:

I rarely use the full pressure, to be honest, and I only go there if my bike is really dirty, like after my long ride I got back from a few days ago. Bugs like you would not believe... Had to use something with a little more umph than my garden hose.

I'll stick by the Honda Wax, though.

i think I'll avoid the chrome polish...lol, however the honda wax might work. the melted rubber is on there pretty hard, tried wiping it with hot pipes and it didn't move. I will let you know if I find something!
