    I’ve pulled the protective coat off of the rear fender of my Breakout. The one under the pillion seat, seeing as I’m only ever gonna ride solo apparently. There’s one stubborn bit of sticky left on there though. What’s the best stuff to use on the matte finish to lift it?
    Cheers in advance. Mick.

    Also, is this stuff any good? It SEEMS to work alright. But it could just be me wanting it to look better ;-)

    be careful not to rub the matt paint too much with whatever you use.

    You'll end up with shiny spots on your matt finish.

    Eucalyptus oil gets off sticky shit with ease. Can’t see it hurting either.

    HD engine brightener actually works a treat! Surprised, made my engine black again

    I'll second Eucalyptus oil,  it won't hurt the Denim paint

    Thanks for the advice guys. I bought both (Wax & Grease Remover and Eucalyptus Oil). I thought I’d try the Euc oil first with it being all natural n shit. It worked a treat. A bit of gentle rubbing with a soaked cloth and it was gone in no time :-)

    On my old iron Id use ammonia free windex to clean the denim paint its works and is easy, quick spray and wipe it drys spotless.
