How do i removed staining from tank protector?

fizzydx · Jul 29, 2011

I have an ice white tuono and the tank protector is stained from my black leather, is there a way to remove the stains from the protector without damaging the paint and protector or loosening adhesive?

Some sort of mild abrasive,I guess.
Try a tiny amount of T-Cut on a cloth and go gently bently,...and only on the stains.

Thanks for the suggestion, i've tried with auto glim, it's removed some of the staining but not much of it.

With a bike as good as the Tuono there's bound to be some staining at some point.

I've tried flash but it doesn't work, unfortunately.

I'll give this a try, cheers.

You could try some Mer polish.Its a little more abrasive than T-Cut.

Try some of this, Fizzy....

Seems to work on anything and everything. You can get it in Robert Dyas.

I've got a couple of spots on my tank that just won't come clean.
I've put it down to un-laquered plastic, which has soaked in the juice from a dead insect and so will never come out.
and so now, I always clean off the bugs from the plastics after a ride.

Also noticed that around the fuel cap the tank plastic's gone a little yellowish.

Life lesson learnt, never again will i purchase an un laquered white motorcycle; but I'm gonna enjoy this one just as much anyway...
