cleaning tip .

hi just got my 2013 blade out of hibernation and the black frame , bottom of forks basically everything that's black has white deposits on could be mould ? , a barsteward to get off any ideas to clean off. bit disappointed with the cheap finish from Honda.

 

Sdoc 100 did a good job on mine!

 

Hi Castrol bike Polish is good stuff and will also bring up shine .

 

thanks bob , i use autoglym conditioner great on the paintwork but wont shift it , but with it being a matt black engine etc it looks crap , i think ill give sdoc100 a go .

 

once cleaned off silicon spray brings it all back to show room condition

 

Wd40.

 

which silicone spray do you use. thanks

 

have used Silkolene but my current fav is WD Silicone spray - it smells just soo good!!

 

Try a car detailing all purpose cleaner be sure to dilute accordingly and agitate with a brush

 

Wash with Sdoc 100 then apply ACF-50, worked for me.

 

Keith are you near the sea by any chance?

One of my old Hondas did this in my garage near the sea and I think it was early corrosion. With my 2012 blade I rub acf50 over everything apart from the discs with a rag and it keeps it from happening.

 

Dont think its cheap finish mate, more likely you didn't prepare it for a lay off..........

 

I have the white spots, my fault for not cleaning her before winter Sure they will disappear with bit of TLC though.

 

Could try muc-off degreaser
