BASH69
Good day all,
I recently fitted a pair of LeoVince Ally cans on the SD. I ride it all year round and it unavoidably gets caked in salt, cow turds and mud on a daily basis. The bike is holding up well as I don't neglect the cleaning and I liberally use Scotoil FS365 on all the metal parts. Problem is that the cans get caked in all the gash which then gets baked on hard. I'm not a pedant by nature but they look a disgrace and I've had to polish them with Autosol far too often. Reckon I'll be rubbing right through the damned things soon.
This doesn't happen on my enduro bike and the cans are Ally too, but with some sort of different finish - they just wash straight off with cleaning fluid. Does anyone know exactly what manufacturers treat them with? I wondered if a spray on enamel may be the solution. Anybody tried this? Product recommendations? I'm honestly past caring about shiny Ally and don't mind that if by applying treatment it goes dull.
No surprise that everyone on here seems to use C/F. I won't be making that mistake again.
