Cleaning scuff marks on tank

Any ideas on how to get rid of the scuff marks leathers leave on the tank?Tried a few things but they aint working.

 

if conventional polish isn't helping Ive heard good things about a clay bar.
Not tried myself tho

 

Thanks,tried a number of different polishes,none seem to do it,will try clay bar only £5 on ebay.

 

Clay bar for fall out won't do much at all for scratches, need a find compound. I swear by 3M Finesse it, works a treat on my black tank.



Or get some techspec/stompgrips.

 

Why bother?

You'll only fek it up again with more marks!

Just cover it over with Stomp Grips like ya shulda done in the first place!

 

**** me sinewave you don't mix your words not like straight to the point springs to mind

You're right Sinewave,some folks have to learn the hard way!

 

I find the Techspec tank grip is more keen to the eye

 

What have you actually tried on the scratches?

 

+1 when I used to sell bikes for a living always had a bottle in my desk. works wonders

 

Tried various waxes and furniture polish,none do it properly,3m finesse sounds good might try it,stomp grips would solve it of course but not that keen on the look.

 

Yes I'm also not keen on the look... Looks like that plastic stuff old people have in there hallway to stop the carpet getting soiled

Also they don't do any kits for an old banger like mine

 

Yes lamb chops your right it's not attractive but the purpose is to lean and not slip off better for cornering,you may well need some on your new beast that your nearly finished never too old

 

Yes think I will graham... Don't like the look of it but do find it slippery when hanging off. Will have a look at the stuff Colin recommended.

 

As said the tech spec stuff has a good bit better looks than the stomp grip!
The stomp grip does just look off when on the bike albeit it does what it says on the tin but I just want it all to keep the looks and give the grip and for me that's the tech spec products!

 

No tech spec for the 98 blade will have to have a look at something which can be cut to shape perhaps..

 

As others have said, a little compound works wonders, always mop the scuff off that way

 

If you try M3 Finesse and it works you can get ventureshield pre-cut panels for your bike for £35 mate
It's all but invisible and is mega strong stuff!

1000 bike paint protection

I've got it the full kit on my bike but you can get the tank kit I assume it'll be the same as what I got with the full kit it's 3 panels, one for each side of the tank and a panel where the tank pad sits

Just a thot mate

Oh and you can stick tank pads and stompgrip and the like once it fitted with no issues so it's a no brainer really

 

Tech Spec is better aesthetically as can be seen on me Blade and is OK for good progress on the Queen's Highway!
Stomps work better at the exstreams of Track Day use or racing hence why they're on the ZX!
