couple of weeks ago took the covers off the bike and noticed a smear on the tank, without wanting to sound disgusting it looked like someone had sneezed on it.
No one touches my bike or uncovers it so was at a loss as to what it was.
Anyway got a rag and wiped it and thought I'll give it a thorough clean the following weekend.
After washing the tank it still had a look as if I'd put polish on it and not wiped it off, washed it and dried it again and still didn't remove it.
Unfortunately it looks as if its taken the gloss out of the clearcote and still has a 'greasy' feel to it.
As you can imagine I'm not happy as since I got it custom painted last October all I've done is wash and chamois it, no polish at all.
Don't know what to try next....white spirit, petrol and turps have all been suggested but a bit reluctant to muck around with it any more.
