SeanC7 Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 Hey guys, Recently got a bike off craigslist. It was a beater, anyways, I sprayed it all down with degreaser I mean ALL of it. All moving parts, chain, tires. I realize this may have been very stupid now looking back, just want to know if I caused any damage? Plastics look like shit now. Hoping they can be fixed as well.

JUSTWANNARACE Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 Silkoline Pro Prep should bring the plastics back.. simple green is your best friend on these things, wont damage rubber or dis color alum and works pretty well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kawa110 Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 How long did the degreaser sit on the machine before getting sprayed off? Specifically rubber components, intakes, seals, ball joint rubber...Greased lighting is mild to some other cleaners out there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginger Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 car wax doesnt work worth a shit on plastics. i use Maxima SP1 plastic shine, or this company names Slick makes a plastic shine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It honestly helped slightly, that's only because the degreaser totally made them white and roughed them up, hopefully some of these products use been suggested by you guys work. I prefer to buy in person instead of paying shipping I've read good things about Silkolene but not sure if I can find it in person. I'll check what you suggest out as well. I've even seen dudes using transmission fluid lol.Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
