I just bought an 06 kx250f, and the frame and motor are stained. Pressure washing hasn't really helped. What do I do to get that "show room" shine back (or at least as close as I can)? Help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Spectro XL-1 is the best stuff I have used, for that show room shine.

if you're talking about the blackness on the frame from boots rubbing, try a little simple green or similar cleaner and some scotch brite.

Thanks everyone for the tips. I give it a shot. I may post some before and afters, just in case anyone else has the same issue. I know its fairly common.

Eagle One Etching mag wheel cleaner and a Scotchbrite pad. Apply it to the Scotchbrite and scrub the aluminum frame. Then rinse clean. Don't be spraying it all over everything, it will dull all the zinc plating on bolts and hardware.

Simple green and an SOS pad. Took a years worth of dirt stains off of my engine and frame.

You may want to check pricing for yourself before you post. Just saying! lmao

The Whopping Grand Total for the products mentioned earlier is roughly $41.00, which by the way, will last for more than one bike wash.

Also, on the Hookit site, we are offering 50% off that price with a sponsorship approval.

Good golly.....just over $20! LMao this time.
