Side panel exhaust stain

[SumpBuster]

Guys.......nothing & I mean nothing on this planet, manufactured by the smartest scientists in the world can clean the factory decals that are stained brown, below side panels. I've tried.

Btw..... i will make a list & buy it. Use it & bring the results on the forum.

It's like the brown stain on our kitchen stove from the oven vent. Belt sander!
Nothing takes it off. Laquer thinner did not clean the skis thoroughly. Same problem on my old yellow machz.

I've barely had to touch it with the Vin cream cleaner and it was gone

What is that?

I found methanol(certain gas line anti-freeze) wipes it right off but would like something thicker with more substance and in larger bottle.

Just a regular bathroom and kitchen cleaner, there's different coloured bottles for different stuff but they all work great

Sorry I didn't get back to that one. I was reading the "hazardous materials" report that's associated with that product. Yikes! Haha....

Oh I see....its got bleach in it....maybe good for white but not sure about my red lower panel with bleach in it.

Gojo used to have mineral spirits. I tries that first. Most of its gone, but it's not as bright as the pto side. And the skis ....nothing takes it all off....discolored now. But no big deal.

Snowarrior, have you tried zep specific to the target area (stains on factory decals)?

I really hope yamaha is reading this. Cause if their team of techno wizards can develop the cure. Yamaha would make a fortune on it.Kinda like Harley Davidson and wearables.

$200. For a 6oz bottle. I'd be like "so"

is the magic eraser and/or vim safe on panels with decals on them?

Just remember magic eraser is basically just a scrubber pad(with soap in it) and it should not be used on shiny or painted items as its basically same as using a green pad ect.....the eraser works well on white panels as they are a rough plastic, but not sure id use them too heavily on graphics ect...just go lightly.

The methynol is more a wipe on/off deal.....basically just a stronger alcohol i guess.

These white panels are gonna drive me nutty for sure....I have owned nearly ALL black sleds my entire life, and I cannot believe how much dirt is everywhere...lol Good training for my OCD.

Ive never tried magic eraser ...but its not abrasive at all...at least the one Ive used in the house.?

guaranteed stain removal ....brake cleaner used sparingly on soft towel ....(use caution and make no representation on how it will affect long term)
