I have a bike with wrinkle black paint on the primary cover and rocker box covers and they have a white oxidation on them. If I wipe it down with a damp cloth it goes away, then reappears in 10 minutes or so. How do I make it go away?

 

I seem to recall H-D has a product for that, otherwise visit your local auto parts store for a suitable aftermarket cleaner for matt black finishes.

 

Try one of these in an inconspicuous spot. Engine brightener made my motor look new again.

 

A "safe on all finishes" automotive wheel cleaner and some gentle scrubbing with a nylon bristled brush can do the trick. I have had success this way.

 

PAM oven spray works.

 

Pig Spit. $10 a can and keeps the engine black a LONG time.

 

all of these sound good thank you for the response, i used some awesome and a rag and it looks better I am going to get some thing from harley next time I am there.

 

S100 engine cleaner works for me.

 

when I am really lazy, i spray the black parts with Tire Foam & just wipe the over spray off the chrome.

it's works for a few weeks, but not like engine brightener or pigsnot.


if i get a LOT of metal polish on the wrinkle black, i use a tooth brush & Carb Cleaner (or gas) to get it off, then rinse that spot & try to put something on it, to keep it from drying out, like armor all or baby oil..
