I think I need to read that again. Slowly & deliberately. Ha!!!

Come on Dawg forgive and forget already.
Of course I'm an overbearing pompous idiot, I work for the guvmint now, and have learned to use words like "Hope & Change" instead of hand outs, corporate welfare, warfare as usual.
It's a tough, no slack site, so I understand if you gotta smack me around a little more before you forgive and forget,,,

Bless you, brudda, for finding the solution. I was about ready to have "my" people go talk to "their" people. Victory should be thanking you right about now . . .
Oh, and the KP is on itsway.

I KNEW IT! Mr. Sambora??? is that you? You ridin' with that Christie Brinkley Girl?

Dealer had my Bike on display for quite sometime including outside in the sun where it could get noticed. The WD-40 (Bubba?) suggested didn't get it off.

Until the day I cleaned the bike one more time and put the Turtle Wax Ice on, it was a nice pale square in my paint, Granted it got lots of chemicals on it and the Turtle wax was on in directly sunlight on a 95 degree day for about 40 minutes,,, so who knows,,,maybe the WD-40 finally had its effect,,

Either way, that's a pretty good wax, but I start every tool box with a hammer, duct tape, flathead-screwd river-chisel-prybar, and a small can of WD-40,,,,,son of a steelworker, what are gonna do?

$%^&&^%!!!!!!!!

The Ghost is till there, it's faint, but in the early morning it's visible!

Victory Emblem time! or maybe just get a new panel. I just hate this kinda stuff,,

 

[Keith Grey]

Hmmmmm ...... there's gotta be a chemical solution. Damnit - we can put a man on the moon!!!!

Ohhhh, there's a chemical solution alright! Green Printer's ink and cotton fiber paper $$$$$$$$ for a new panel

Or $$ for a Victory emblem to stick on,,,,,

Maybe I'll do the console and that panel in Carbon Fiber like Di-Noc

Actually, I used to make my own hand balm (left over from when we rock climbed), and probably still have Tea-Tree Oil as well as Sandalwood and Eucaluptus.

After I try it, I'll let you know. Thanks.

ICE & SKYE? Ya thats a VOG thing

You talking bout washing my bike???

LOL!!! Weeeelllllllll, it's a little too late for me to start being submissive at this point, but thanks for the thought. I have absolutely no doubt you could find you a boytoy to do it for you if you really wanted.

Plus, since I do not wash my little redheads car, she may do something truly horrible to me for washing your bike.

The clear that Victory uses is way to soft. the chemical from the back of the sticker imbeads into the clear. Thats why you have that faint ghost print, only sometimes in the right light.
Only answer.... repaint. Sad but true. Wish Victory would use something different for clear on their black bikes.

Mike, you obviously know paint better than I do, but I just figured the soft nature of their paint was due to the flexibility of the ABS they are putting it on???? Now if all this plastic was sheet aluminum!!!man you could put some glass like clear on it, but it would sound like a bucket of bolts rattling down the road.

Course I could be wrong and they just went 10% cheaper with the clear than they should have,,,,,

Try Turtle wax scratch remover, you will be suprised by what it can do, just follow the directions. It removed scratches that I didnt think possiable from this type of product. best money I spent all year! I know yours isnt a scratch but......should work anyway.

I'll pick some up and try it! Thanks, Like Mike said, this thing does seem to pick up scratches very easy.

The wax is really good... but i still think victory should invest in Dupont. Cost a little more but has a better shine, and a little more durable (once you add the flex ajent). I live in Tuson .... nothing but dust and dirt, with high winds. My bike takes a beating sometimes. With the Dupont clear.... no rock chips.... and the spiderwebbing comes off with ease. Just a preference.

LOL! I can not imagine me taking off all this plastic so you can toughen up the Blue Dragons skin but it is an enticing idea,,,,,,,,
