What do you use on the shaker?

Just curious what you all use to keep the shaker nice and black (besides painting it)?

Or unbolt it and give it a good scrub in some Simply Green and water.

It's a cleaner you'll find at Harley shops. You can use it on the chin spoiler, too. I bought it at Wal-Mart once a long time ago, but never saw it there again.

Re: What do use on the shaker?

I have tried alot of different products. Even Breakfree CLP(firearm lube).

I found autozone had some autoglym products, good stuff. I picked up the "tyre dressing". The stuff is great, exactly what I have been looking for. I use it on the chin spoiler, grill delete, shaker, front wheel wells, and tires.

Its cheap, give it a try.

Re: What do use on the shaker?

Turtle Wax Ice works OK,
Back to black works good.
If you are in an area that gets a lot of sun, it won't last really long.
The only other alternative is to get it stripped
and powdercoated with crinkle black.
