bk_banshee Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Yes it will eat at your finish. Depneds on how long you leave them in and how storng the solvant is. Another thing to think about is that the solvant could get under the chrome if you have some small pitts and once back on the bike it will boil and chrack the chrome. If your terying to clean them use a rag and some acetone. If you want a new Finish you can have them Re-chromed $300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYUK Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 no solvent will take off the carbon. any benefits from dipping them in a parts washer will be minimal. anything short of sand blasting won t do much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireHead Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 It really depends on what solvent is in the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
