Looks like the motor was hot when you sprayed iton, if so it will be hard to polish out.

Did you wash it while it was hot? Use Mothers and it will come back to normal,might have to do it a few times. I get that a little when I wash the bike. (hard *** water here)

Thats nasty. I had the same this happen to me one time while riding back in a bad rain storm. I used "never dull" on the silver and "Black Out" on the black.

OOOO steel wool will work on the aluminum. Saturate with Mothers alum polish and rub away. Never use the steel wool dry,it will scratch but if you keep it wet with polish while you're rubbing it will make the aluminum look like chrome. No help for cases but if yours are black the
S100 engine brightener works great after you scrub them good and let them dry good.

Good Luck

Tom

Yep get your self a Mothers power ball , some mag and aluminum polish and start rubbing. Only on the aluminum parts go for the S100 on the black afterwards. Dont sweat it, it will come out its just takes some effort.

Sorry about that, what a bummer. Mother's has worked wonders for me, never dull is not bad either.

I'd pull the covers off and bench polish them. That will be the only real way to clean them up. They will turn out nearly looking like chrome.
