Does the foil leave residue on the rough surface...how long does it last? Be something to try thogh.

After you wipe it clean with a cloth it is just the chrome . The foil is softer than the chrome so it will not scratch it . I have tried it before I posted it . Sorry no pics . I need to get some new battery for the camera . I like to try things before passing the info. on just to see if it does work . This bike is being built on a very low budget . I like to save every where I can .

loudhvx Offline KZr Legend Posts: 10868 Thank you received: 1615	Mythbusters: collection 1, episode 5 In that episode they test a bunch of myths about cola. The only myth that held true was cola's ability to clean a chrome bumper. To test that myth, they used aluminum foil to do the rubbing. In their experiment, the foil/cola combo did better than a comercial chrome cleaner. 1981 KZ550 D1 gpz. Kz550 valve train warning. Other links.
