Exclamation Wrinkle black motor

So this will be short and to the point...


Who here has the wrinkle black motors??

Have a hard time cleaning it? seems to get "stained" thats the best way i can describe it... Ive used many different products this past year. from simple green to s100 but i haven't been able to get anything to really work or "stay" well last weekend i found some stuff called "Pig Spit" Im sure its been referenced here before but not in this thread. i used this stuff and the past 3 weeks or so i haven't seen any change. it made my motor look better than it did when i first got the bike. I even decided to put it to the test on my car (some of the old faded plastic pieces) and tested a spot on that and guess what after 3 weeks in the Texas sun the spot i tested still look brand new. So if you haven't tried it yet go pick some up its like 8$ a can and works fantastic.


P.S. sorry for bad spelling and ect ect lost my glasses couple days ago and dont get my new ones in till saturday :/ yay week long migraine ..

I use S100 Engine Brightener. It seems to be easier to find than Pig Spit, but I imagine they work about the same. The S100 product works great on wrinkle black and it lasts pretty well. When your black parts start looking gray, this stuff will make them look new again.
