How do you keep your silver motors looking like new?
I'm just wondering how all of these silver motor bikes continue to look like new. I have see plenty of these bikes that the silver has changed to a dirty silver that just does not come clean. I'm trying to avoid this. I clean my bike regularly and use S100.
All you can do is do your best to keep it clean...at some point it will look like crap...when mine gets really bad,I tape it off and paint it with high temp aluminum paint.
I have looked everywhere and tried everything. The best cleaner for aluminum heads, primary, tranny and cam cover is Blue Magic by far. It will clean anything off like water spots, heat discoloration anything.
I do exactly what you do. I clean the bike regularly and use S100 if it needs it. The problem is when you don't clean regularly, the grim gets baked on and then it is nearly impossible to clean up.
The silver motor on my Dyna still looked like new at 1 1/2 years old before I sold it. I used to hand wash it with Harley Sun Wash and scrub the motor when needed with a tooth brush.

Are there any tricks that i'm missing?
Thanks.
