Go "ride it off" on trails, streams, etc. Actually I have no idea?!?! If it won't come off I guess we'll have to start calling you Chicken POX instead of Chicken Heart??

Hey Chicken Pox, I did the same thing years ago. Mine never did recover. I did tone it down abit with a liberal dose of WD-40, let it soak in a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted May 29, 2007 assuming it was something corrosive on something aluminum... i have had the same thing happen here at work; too many times.... the closest i have got to "fixing" it, is a rubbing compound, but then it ends up being polished, and there is still some ghost image sometimes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Been there, ruined that. Its pretty much a done deal unless you buff the piss out of it and then maintain it constantly.....BLING BLING Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chickenheart 0 Posted May 30, 2007 i'll try a combination buffing the piss out of it and riding the piss out of it (maybe sand blasting lol) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirt dame 561 Posted May 30, 2007 I get around the problem a bit by only using Foamy Engine Brite, trying to keep it off the tires and using either an Armorall type product to redress the faded spots or Silkolene Pro Prep. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
