Re: Restoring your paint to like new
Written by revconprince on 5/4/2013 at 12:00 am

I've not had the courage to do it to the bike yet, but the latest internet craze for boats and RVs is cleaning with Bar Keepers Friend, and then coating with ZEP high gloss floor polish. I've done my boat and RV, both came out very good, and stayed clean after that. The floor polish is very hard, so the dirt tends not to stick. My only fear is that if after a few years I need to redo it, would be stripping the old layer off without ruining the finish. On the boat or RV, the surface is acrylic, so it is not harmed by floor stripper. I'm a little scared to the that with the bike. I may try it in some inconspicuous spot, and see how it holds up first.
