Cleaning arrow exhausts
 

Can any body advise best way to clean a pair of alluminium exhausts for my xtx. Have a few oil spots on from previous owner. Dont wanna ruin the finish with anything too abrassive. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/01/evababev.jpg

WD40 and an old towel is normally good. I have had wd on my arrow cans to no ill effect.

White spirit is the best stuff for getting rid if oil, grease, tar and rubber deposits. After that use whatever you normally use to clean the bike. For tarnished stainless use Autosol, but avoid it on the aluminium (unless you want it shiny! ;) ).

Wd40 aint shifting the little s***s , gonna give the white spirit a shot tomorow

If its really stubborn then put the white spirit on with a rag and leave it there for a minute before rubbing. Ten go over it again with a fresh bit off rag and white spirit to tidy it all up. Works a treat.

I had an awful mess on my pipes after shoeing on a new set of TKC, then doing 300 miles on the A1, the molten rubber got everywhere! Sorted in ten minutes with white spirit.
