Default Sparyed carb cleaner on a tiny little spot of dirt on the primary of my superglide
well that **** took of some of the paint in a split second. Degreaser wouldn't make it go away so I had the bright idea of using a small amount of carb cleaner. Bad move. The paint bubled up a tiny bit and started coming off. Let this serve as a warning.......don't be stupid like me

Default Magic Eraser
It isn't magic and will leave behind tiny scratches on your bike. That's how it works...it's abrasive.

I've never seen any scratches on cases or wheels and of course it's not for painted surfaces.
