I was a careless the last time I waxed the bike and got a little wax on the engine case. Tried several chemicals and cleaners. Nothing seems to work well!

What works for you?

Didn't think you had to wax a gold wing Tommy?

Acetone. Dissolves residue and evaporates clean. Make sure the motor is stone cold before using and don't have any heat generating objects or open flame in the area. Don't ask me how I know....... :2vrolijk_21:

Did you try brake or carb cleaner, in the aerosol can? Spray it on a rag and wipe the area.

I've used S 100 & when that didn't work used Spray 9. Just don't leave the Spray 9 on long. Spray on, toothbrush it and hose off. THE MUFFMAN

Warm the engine. Use WD-40 sprayed onto a cloth shop towel and work into the the area containing the wax misapplication. Rinse copiously. Spray the entire engine with Armor All. Allow to soak for a few minutes. Wash the motorcycle as you would normally. Once dry, that black be "blingin'!" :2vrolijk_21:

If you're looking for a chemical analysis, there's a Chemistry PhD next door. He's actually a really great down to earth guy; isn't stuck on himself like some PhDs. He could probably tell you what's going on at the molecular or even atomic level.
Chit, I don't know, Man.
Someone passed the idea to me when I was posted at Ft. Rucker back in 2005. I tried it, it worked, so I still use it.........even on the blonde engine. Just figured I'd pass it on here.

Actually, don't care about chemical stuff. What's it look like when the engine gets hot? Does it stand up? THE MUFFMAN

Last night, over on the SERG board, I said I'm not real smart. Here's testimony. I thought you meant "how does the Armor All work with the engine heat?" As in how does it work to make the engine look good when sprayed on a warm engine. My apologies, Sir.
It looks great when the engine gets hot and doesn't attract dust like the S100 Engine Brightener does. I wash my bikes alot, so I'm not sure how it would look without frequent reapplications, BUT I do know that it stood up well on my 02 Ultra after 2000+ miles of traveling without a wash or reapplication. :2vrolijk_21:

You have actual homes?? ;D. Next thing you know I'll find out there is a need for dentists down there LOL Don't tempt me to come down. You might see this redneck Canadian parking his arse on your doorstep. ;D THE MUFFMAN.

That might be a bit of a stretch there, Muff...........unless you've completed a specialty in Prosthodontics. Most folks around here have one, Oreo cookie scraping tooth on the upper plate, and I know they'd love to have a full set. Right know it pretty much takes 36 Alabama Rednecks to come up with a full set of teeth anyway. :huepfenlol2: :huepfenjump3:
But you could ride year 'round. :2vrolijk_21:
