Have you ever polished or waxed your bike then noticed white smeers on the black trim parts? This always happens to me. Even more now with my new 1200R. Most of the black trim is not smooth and shiney. It's dull and sort of rough.

I have discovered WD40 on a cleen rag will remove it completely. HA! Yet another problem this wonderous product eliminates.

Any other tricks anyone has discovered?

Try Armor All Butter Smooth Wax or Eagle One Gel Wax with Carnauba... Both these do NOT leave white residue on black
plastic trim.

I have had good luck removing those white hazy mistakes with Back to Black and Silicone sprays.

Hey!
You're too early!

There should be at least another month before that awful white stuff settles on the road.

Cheers anyhow

Mother's Back to Black will get rid of the wax residue on things.

That awful white stuff is on the ground here - and more forecast for Saturday night
I still hope to ride a bit more, but this has not been a very high mileage year - too much business travel sans bike...

The white stuff that will be on the ground today is AWFUL

Thanks for the tips MM and ammolab. As soon as the awful white stuff stops falling this weekend I'll work on that awful white stuff.

Luckily I got a brief ride in this morning and snow started getting heavy just as I pulled i the drive. Quick under the cover and wait for this NE storm to be over. I wish I had a garage...

69 degrees and BIGHT Sunshine day today in Texas! Just at the Snow drives you Yankees indoors....we get a break from the BLAZING Heat and go outside to play.

Just got back from a nice ride!

Still riding here in buffalo, cherishing every mile till they start salting. Salt is the real evil white stuff!

74 Degrees and beautifully clear today here. What white stuff ???

Winter?
