    Thanks for the superglue tip. Not only have I gone through many dremel brushes, but when they start shredding wires I’ve had a few stab and stick into my skin like little darts!

    Don't forget to run your engine once the ACF-50 has been applied to seal the job. It'll light smoke up a storm but it's unbelievable as far as corrosion protection goes.
    Best part about ACF-50 is that when youve done a full blown clean up job, it feels like the equivalent of that fresh smell you get in the interior of a car when you put a fragrance tree in after a deep clean 😍

    When I bought my V Star 250 two years ago, I got this organic cleaner (Cycle Magic Clean & Shine) from amazon to clean every part of the bike first. Works pretty darn good! Then I used Mcguire's Last Touch Spray Detailer to polish everything. Also removed the light rust stains and pits from the front side of the front exhaust pipe! That bike looked brand new when I got it finished! Safe for painted surfaces too, unlike acid-based compounds.

    You can dip your aluminum foil in Coca-cola when cleaning up that chrome....works pretty good, I've found. Thanks for the video and tips! Great looking bike! Gotta ride on the back of one back in '72 when girl down the street got one. I was a senior in high school. She was cute and obviously had her act together.....

  • @patmays7344

    Yes. The gas tanks on modern bikes, are a lot more difficult to remove. Just thought I'd mention that! Ha. Good video. But, this all takes a Lot of time, no matter how you do your cleaning?

      @GoldGuyRides  10 місяців тому +2

    Use carb cleaner to get rid of the metal polish residue for a faster clean up.

    • @STho205
      @STho205 3 місяці тому

      Carb cleaner is great at stripping the old clear coat Honda sprays on their side covers....but it can also work its way into gaskets causing an oil leak if used on an assembled bike. Best if used on a rag in that case
      A wipe with ammonia or kerosene wet rag will do it too....then rebuff with a dry wheel.

    • @GoldGuyRides
      @GoldGuyRides  18 днів тому

      Brass brush isn't too soft for aluminum. If you're cleaning steel or cast iron, use a steel brush. Don't use a steel brush on an aluminum engine though because you will scratch it all up.

      Yeah, it's very diluted acid and it doesn't affect the paint.

    No no no
    As an Aircraft Engineer and A&P Mechanic you never ever contact or clean any Alumina with anything with steel or iron.
    Steel or iron wire wheels and steel wool will corrode any and all Alumina metal.
    You may not see the Alumina part corrode right away but they will corrode very fast.
    Why?
    It is the microscopic particles of steel that touch the alumina that cause the alumina to corrode and once you do a wire wheel or steel wool rub there is nothing that will fix it.
