I'm in the process of de-stickerizing my black 600RR and I'm having trouble getting some road grime off. The normal dirt came off fine but there is some baked-on grime on the lower-inside part of the mid fairing that I can't seem to remove. I used a fair amount of Turtle Wax brand "Bug & Tar" remover, but it took forever to get the smallest bit off.

Anyone come across this problem before and found a good way to get it off?

 

there is a brand of degreaser that they sell at bike stores that is safe for plastics and comes in an aerosol can.

I dont have it with me, so I cant give you the name, but it works very well, and should be available at any bike store.

 

u tried goo gone yet?? takes off anything. i had tar on my bike before n came off like nothing.

 

They didn't have Goo Gone at Kragen...is that safe for the paint?

Yes don't get it on headlights or tail lights though.

 

i was thinking wd-40 but not sure if its safe on fairing. it took the thickest grease off my wheels if not try scratch x or any wax

 

honda polish please and thank you

 

aircraft paint remover JK

I loved honda-polish. but dont know if that will be strong enough.

 

WD-40 owns for cleaning undertails of gunk, but i'm assuming its pretty damn harsh on paint. I tried simple green too, but with lackluster results.

 

A clay bar might work.

WD40 wont do jack to paint, except make it shiny. The problem with WD40 is it picks up dust like a ****.

 

Goo gone, clay bar, any diluted degreaser, thats what I would try..
