ENGINE CASE

[BIKERDAD61]

HEY GUYS ? ANYONE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE LOWER PART OF THEIR ENGINE CASE CORODING ????? ON MY '05 CHOPPER , I DON'T HAVE THE FULL POLISHED MOTOR AND THE LOWER PART OF THE CASES ARE GETTING A HAZY, BROWN, RUSTED LOOKING FILM ON THEM ?? JUST WASHING WON'T TAKE IT OFF. NOT TRIED A POLISH OR CLEANER YET. I KNOW THAT ALUMINUM CAN OXIDIZE BUT NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS. ANY IDEAS ?? :bang:

Try using that Wizards metal polish and then they have a sealer that helps keep that shine longer. If it is really bad....use the Wizards Metal Renew. I ordered all of my stuff from Vickie at KC Kreations.....10% off and free shipping! You can also ask her about anything and if she doesn't know the answer, she will find out :2thumbs:

Aluminum oxidation would be white and powdery, nothing like rust. Rust is oxidized iron.

I tried to use aluminum polish to bring mine back and even used the dremel with the polishing kit...made it shiny, but still stained...does this metal renew stuff work that good???

I have used a green scotch bite pad cleans it up great.
