370bansheeSOFLO Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 so i was cleaning the bike after my last ride i normally use formula 88 i spray down the whole bike then wash it off works awesome, but this is the first wash since i put the noss cool head on it, i sprayed the formula 88 on the head washed it off now the head is no longer polished it has a white residue on it and no matter what i use to clean it it will not polish back up? i used mothers polish and also turtle polish wax. any ideas Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginger Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 your using an aggressive cleaner, you are better off with something like simple green which is strong but not enough to hurt the aluminum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginger Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 i wash with simple green no problems, degreasers like castrol super clean, or the zep 505 make aluminum look like crap, and it takes a bit of work to make it look good again.
