Ive got a nasty looking carbon effect tank protector on the kwack , Whats the best way to remove it ??

[Ballistic Banana]

a Chisel or wire brush

A try and peel as much of as possible using my nails and then try using something like bug remover(made by turtlewax) to get the stickyer stuff off

Cheers Ballistic ive got some muc off i will try that , if you havent used muc off give it a go, it makes cleaning the bugs and genral crud off the bike very easy

'muc Off' whos that made by and where from.

The only problem i find with the one use is it is a wax aswell.It gets every thing off real easy but it is a bit of a nitemare getting the wax to buff up.

Generally use WD40 to clean my wheels,it gets all the shite off from the chain,used sparringly off course.
Wouldnt be to good on the tyres,i have enought trouble as it is

I used petrol to clean the glue off my tank a while back when swapping the pad - even if it's supposed to be "petrol-proof" it shifted it, no problem.
