    I believe you are correct. It will cause you issues when trying to repair damage and the duct tape won't hold it together when trying to get all the pieces home either.

    This is the stuff I got but haven't used it yet search for syntax in product find
    Syntex

    To get the clay stains off is crc or wd40 good? what recommendations? I want to get it really clean before starting to spray with this stuff in case it seals the dirt in.

    I use the spray that came in a "Muc -Off' kit I bought. Seems to work real well. Use it all over the engine and hard to keep clean areas on the bike. Also is a good water-disperser/lubricant.
    By the way, the actual 'Muc-Off' cleaner is excellent.

    he's being serious.

    seriously.

    The 808 type stuff is good for those with motors that are a kinda matte-black 'crackle' finish, looks new again after a quick spray when you've washed the bike and it has dried off.

    Stops bugs and cow-shit and other gobie crap from sticking to the motor too.

    I tihnk the new syntex must be the replacement for 808. It says new generation & was in the spot where the 808 usually is on the CRC stand.
    Who would have thought silicon spray could be so stimulating? Not me

    Syntex isn't the new 808, it has been round for ages. The 808 cans have a different design on them now, maybe you missed them.
    I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........
