Removing Tar
March 7th, 2010
The Stelvio I have purchased was the press bike for Moto Guzzi. In basic terms it was used by a number of different riders and probably not washed much.
Since taking ownership I’ve been out in the garage cleaning it up bit by bit. There was grease everywhere in the small corners and it needed a good wipe down. One of the main issues though was spots of tar. The stuff was everywhere from the front suspension struts to the body panels to the exhaust unit. I had to spend an hour outside today with a rag and a bottle of white spirits cleaning all of these small spots off the bike. It looks so much better without them but I tell you now, it was a job and a half…
As they say on in Wales… Tidy!
