Default removing polish from night train
spilled some mothers polish on the case and transmission. It keeps coming back no matter what I use to try to get it off. Any suggestions? It is on the wrinkle black finished parts. Thanks in advance.

Pig spit of s100 engine brightener might work.

Pig spit. I had some white residue on my wrinkle black oil tank once. Couldn't get it off or hide it with anything I tried. Then, I tried the Pig Spit. One spray and it was gone. Now, 6 months later and no trace of the white residue.

Pig spit is great, darkens black motors. If you don't have it, wd40

The WD40 will burn off and the stains will come back when the motor gets hot but Pig Spit will not burn off. But, if its on the rear parts of the primary that don't get too hot, WD40 is probably fine.

I had mother's polish on my wrinkle black. WD40 rubbed in with an old toothbrush worked. It does burn off, but I've never had any of the white residue return.
