Thanks for the superglue tip. Not only have I gone through many dremel brushes, but when they start shredding wires I’ve had a few stab and stick into my skin like little darts!
Don't forget to run your engine once the ACF-50 has been applied to seal the job. It'll light smoke up a storm but it's unbelievable as far as corrosion protection goes. Best part about ACF-50 is that when youve done a full blown clean up job, it feels like the equivalent of that fresh smell you get in the interior of a car when you put a fragrance tree in after a deep clean 😍
When I bought my V Star 250 two years ago, I got this organic cleaner (Cycle Magic Clean & Shine) from amazon to clean every part of the bike first. Works pretty darn good! Then I used Mcguire's Last Touch Spray Detailer to polish everything. Also removed the light rust stains and pits from the front side of the front exhaust pipe! That bike looked brand new when I got it finished! Safe for painted surfaces too, unlike acid-based compounds.
You can dip your aluminum foil in Coca-cola when cleaning up that chrome....works pretty good, I've found. Thanks for the video and tips! Great looking bike! Gotta ride on the back of one back in '72 when girl down the street got one. I was a senior in high school. She was cute and obviously had her act together.....
Yes. The gas tanks on modern bikes, are a lot more difficult to remove. Just thought I'd mention that! Ha. Good video. But, this all takes a Lot of time, no matter how you do your cleaning?
Wow what a difference , the very first video I ever eat of yours is when you polished your Suzuki scrambler motorcycle engine I am curious how well that spray stuff will work as it is something I am wanting to try if it works for you, where did you buy it at thanks…
Thanks Rod! Yeah, that was a pretty popular video, hopefully this one is too! It seems like it is working really good, still no corrosion! I bought it on amazon, there is a link for it in the description of this video.
I just picked up a 73 CB750 that needs a LOT of TLC...I just don't know if I have the patience for this. First I need to see what it even looks like because it's currently covered in 50 years worth of grease and grime. It does make a big difference though so maybe I'll give it a go.
There's a MUCH quicker and cheaper method. Just use a polishing pad and cutting compound on an angle grinder. Side cover will take maybe 10min start to finish
Brass brush isn't too soft for aluminum. If you're cleaning steel or cast iron, use a steel brush. Don't use a steel brush on an aluminum engine though because you will scratch it all up.
Carb cleaner is great at stripping the old clear coat Honda sprays on their side covers....but it can also work its way into gaskets causing an oil leak if used on an assembled bike. Best if used on a rag in that case A wipe with ammonia or kerosene wet rag will do it too....then rebuff with a dry wheel.

EXCELLENT JOB. GREAT INFO. SEMI CHROME. I ALWAYS USED THAT BACK IN THE 60S. BUT YOU ARE EXTREMELY EFFICIENT AND FASTER.
I was here to leave the 900th like 👍 😊

Good info. I'll check these products out. I'm detailing a Rebel 250 as we speak.
Love that Honda bro! I have a Harley but my 1st & 2nd bike were Honda's and man they are great motorcycles! Good job 👍 BIG THNX!☑️

Just got hold or an old harley that was in storage for 2-3 years. This will come in great help getting it looking good again
Great tips man, the alu foil chrome and the dremelbits superglue, great ones!
Great job, looks so much better 🎉
Thanks babe!

I'm an ACF50 fan. Thanks for the how to on cleaning.
That a worthy looking steed indeed! Bravo!

Before you Polish the engine, make sure to Czech it carefully, then you can Finnish.
And don't go russian around with this kind of job either
😂😂
I said to my friend (his name is Ian) "Doing a project like this would make me very Hungary, Ian "....sorry I'll show myself out
When you go to the bathroom, European.
Dad, you don't have a motorcycle! Is no comment section safe?

Won't that stainless steel brush scratch the engine? Shouldn't you be using a brass brush to avoid scratching?
My thoughts, too (?)
Great work! I would like to give you one tip - for a better shine, spray the polished surface or polish pad with water before.
That gas tank looks so cool. Also thanks for posting this.
Where do you get the Eagle one etching wheel cleaner? I was looking for it for an hour straight and couldn’t find it anywhere on the Internet.
Wow what a diff, I may try this.
GREAT VIDEO, AWESOME MUSIC TOO
Thank you! I only use music that I actually like!
Update with the arsol acf50 stuff. Workin on a Magna, cheers from Vegas 🤘🔥
Good video, you could have gotten it even more shiny if you sanded it down after the acid etch. It would be truly mirror shine!
Take pride in.your good work. Thank you for sharing this technique! Awesome job. 🤠👍🏻✨️🇺🇲
They don’t sell eagle one mag cleaner anymore. Do you know of anything else that works just as good?
Great job, keep the good stuff going 👍👍👍👍👍👍
And then did the ACF protect and prevent pitting from returning?
Nice job, thx for the tips and tricks.
remember acf50 is creeping :)
have you ever try to remove air filter is there any different in power?
Maybe an model type airbrush may be good to touch up painted engine surfaces. Polished areas can be masked off
There's a MUCH quicker and cheaper method. Just use a polishing pad and cutting compound on an angle grinder. Side cover will take maybe 10min start to finish
Great vid, and also great tips from everybody thanks!
great video im lookin forward to cleaning my engine soon!
Hard work. Nice. Thanks.
that reverb on your voice to funky break beat. sick vibe lol. ur cool.
Nice job thanks for sharing 👍🏾
I would have thought a Brass brush on the Dremel? Too soft?
Am about to attempt this on three Hondas
Brass brush isn't too soft for aluminum. If you're cleaning steel or cast iron, use a steel brush. Don't use a steel brush on an aluminum engine though because you will scratch it all up.
Use carb cleaner to get rid of the metal polish residue for a faster clean up.
Carb cleaner is great at stripping the old clear coat Honda sprays on their side covers....but it can also work its way into gaskets causing an oil leak if used on an assembled bike. Best if used on a rag in that case
A wipe with ammonia or kerosene wet rag will do it too....then rebuff with a dry wheel.
Nicely done, Sir!
If you get it on paint, will it take the paint off?
Thanks for the tips.
Thanks!..thats pretty swede advice..😁
Okay, but how do you get that beautiful patina that expresses an experienced aged look?
Do nothing
Gunk original is the best way to remove grease and oil
This guy looks like shaggy. Cant unsee that..... Bahahahahaha.
Wots the word ? .......brilliant !
Love your method but takes me longer than a few hours. My 750 Four engine will come to bits and get vapour blast.
Couldn’t you lacquer some of those parts to keep them looking shiny?
@@Supersleuth0987 you can try but clear coat doesn't stick well to polished parts.
You can tell that polish doesnt come in spray can with you. Lol. Good job
Was the acid based aluminum cleaner okay with the painted areas of the engine?
Yeah, it's very diluted acid and it doesn't affect the paint.
@@GoldGuyRides great - thank you
What a bike
The link for the speedo tacho doesnt work anymore. Do you have a name of the product you can share?
Just search on eBay for an electric motorcycle speedometer tachometer unit.
nice 😉

DIY Al etching solution
12 parts Vinegar 8 parts Hydrogen Peroxide 1 part Salt
Etch time 5-10 min.
I was going to say the same thing until I saw your comment. 30 years as an A & P I have never used steel on aluminum
She's looking sweet.
Thanks Larry!!!
“Fast” 😂
Your bike model ans bike name??
A very bad idea using steel brushes or steel wool on aluminium engine parts! This destroys the original protective clear coat lacquer! Do this and you will at least have to repeat again and again! Use Dry ice blasting instead! PS: That round cover is polished aluminum not steel and now all "cleaned" parts are covered with fine scratches!
Why not just polish it instead of making it Polish.
You should think about it...
Yikes! You are removing way too much material!
Cut the music. it's annoying, unnecessary. I passed because of it.
Waiting 4 that KickStarter 2b Used⛷️goodwork
Nice. I recon it will run cooler now.
Very bad job in my life
