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

I've heard of the Back to Black, but what is Pig Spit?

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

Re: What do use on the shaker?
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.
