I'm stripping down my BB for a freshup & wondering whats a good/best product & method of cleaning the swingarm, rims are being powder coated & brake calipers are been painted so looking for a showroom finish. Autosol maybe?
she said she would !!

Why not powder coat it?

was thinking of doing that IF the cleaning process doesn't come up to what I'm looking for, the swingarm looks in good condition so I thought about giving it a really good clean first then take it from there. I've heard about giving it a good clean with engine degreaser then brush clean with mag cleaner, any other methods?Originally Posted by HenryDorsetCase

What finish is it currently? painted? cast? extruded/welded?

HOT soapy water ... with a little dish washing liquid for cleaning.
Autosol is an abrasive cutting paste. Brasso is a finer cutting liquid. A coat of polish (or clear) after using either is needed to "Seal in" the shine ... otherwise it will dull quickly. (back to square one then)

thought of doing the Hydrograhics thing on the swing arm & wheels as that would look coolunsure of pricing though
Alloy finish straight from the factory, I thought about painting it as well but leaving some clean alloy on scooter with newly painted fairings would look mean , I'll post up a pic of swing arm later
