(1/3) > >>

motomagII:
i have got really almost mint seat and need to get the rusty rails back to minty how do i go about this please.ps rails cant be removed so must be cleaned while in the seat

quarryman:
just did one last weekend,  I really soaked cotton wool in lemon juice (M&S Organic, only stuff I could find that was in big bottles)
 and wrapped around the rails,  placed in a plastic bag so kept damp and left 24 hours, came off really easy and a bit of Autosol later looked new. worth a go.

Jamroll:
The Stinky stuff you stick on chips.......Vinegar  :daumenhoch:

motomagII:
will either of these damage the plastic seat at all

moley:
Try using a plastic scraper to knock off the bulk of the rust (be gentle though)

You could use masking tape on the plastic bits to be sure.

Hook you cleaning cloth around the rails so they are only really cleaning/polishing the rails .

You should be alright Greg!!
