Lord Gruntfuttock Posted October 8, 2020 Author 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
Lord Gruntfuttock Posted October 8, 2020 Author Posted October 8, 2020 Had seen that before. Actually looked for some Hydrogen peroxide in town today but couldn't find any... 1 Quote
SOHC Posted October 8, 2020 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
