how in the hell do i clean it? It is on a 883 sportster harley that my buddy owns. It is all blacked out and annoying as hell to detail. The wrinkle is on the heads and the rest of the engine. The body parts are satin black which isn't an issue.
I used some dawn to clean below the gastank as the bike has never been washed in 6000 miles. I tried a little tire piss on a spot that isn't easily seen and it seems to work, but i know it will collect dust like a mofo.
Any ideas how to clean it better and make it not so dried out after i do clean it?
Maybe some Adams APC diluted a bit, but lihe like i said, how do i make it dark black after i do clean it?

Sorry for the above post- 2 kids under 2.5 yrs old means i'm up way past my bed time.
thanks ya'll

i used some super vrt on it and it was OK, but not what i wanted. The cylinders i left alone, don't know how it'd react with all that heat.
