Lord Gruntfuttock Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 Sunny day so carried on, top 2/3 of the tank done here... Just hand sanding with a slurry of Jif, water and simple green. Went from 240 - 400 - 1000 grit paper.. But still some yellow bits I couldn't shift. As it was sunny I tried bleach again, used some oxy stain remover as well and it fizzed up into a sticky foam, which was encouraging... Not sure it did anything, but gave me the chance for a break while it sat in the sun. Washed the residue off and a quick polish and it now looks like this... So lots better but still has some staining, had to remind myself it's not a show bike so this'll do. Still some YAMAHA graphics to go on, and it looks far better than when I started. Pretty hard yakka, but satisfying... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Gruntfuttock Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 Had seen that before. Actually looked for some Hydrogen peroxide in town today but couldn't find any... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 if you get a soft mop for the grinder you can polish plastic a bit, but watch out it digs in and melts very fast 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
