Post by: FreediverGa on January 29, 2006, 07:25:32 PM

what can I put on Rubber hoses and other wiring that will bring them back to life and making them look clean and new again?

Probably a hose dressing that detail shops use. Maybe even tire dressing or armorall cleaner.

I use the S100 Engine Brightener. Armorall is almost as good and much sheaper.

I like Armor All too.  I buy the disposable wipes.  Use it to clean the black plastic parts like the back side of the mirrors, top of the upper fairing just below the handlbars, turn signals, and the rear fender.

A cheapey but a goodie is the no-name wet look tyre clean stuff in the pressure pak can. But do wipe it off, it goes sticky. Brings back the new look to black plastics, like clain guards, and those plastic covers on the frame, the plastic undertray, wiring looms and rubber hoses. Even worn and 2nd hand looking footpeg rubbers, and hand grips.
