Any recommendations on removing a gas stain from black denim tank?
In a moment of stupidity I just spilled some on my brand new fat boy Lo...

Tried denim cleaner and micro fiber cloth and didn't work.
Thanks for the help - and keyboard commandos please spare me the sarcastic comments ...

Thanks everyone!

Wash it with standard car wash detergent. Let dry. Will be fine.

 

I splash gas on mine when I fill up and it never stains. i just go home and use windex and a microfiber cloth. Windex is great to keep it clean. Don't waste the money on the stealers denim cleaner. I have never used soap on it and it looks brand new. Soap could leave a haze.

 

Never had a large spill on my Denim Lo, however, I have spilled small drops on it. I use Cycle Care Denim cleaner on my bike. I have also used Windex. Either has worked out fine for me. I also use the standard car wash soap with good results for a deep cleaning. It does seem to do a pretty good job on removing the gas spots.

Good Luck

 

+1 on just soap and water.
S-100 would be even better - spray it on, hose it off...

 

In the last 6 months i've had h$ll with these new pumps with the suction splashing gas all over the tank.

I just pour water or whats in the window washer buckets over it never an issue with a stain.

 

Thank you all for the replies - a little surprised....
Tried the car detergent and water after it.... Tried the windex and the denim cleaner ...
None if them is working .., don't know of I have to put elbow into it or not.... Thought I did anyways ....

I can pretty much see exactly where the gas spilled and ran over the tank....

 

Windex and microfiber cloth for the win! I use it on every surface too.

 

Not working my fellow rider - am I using the wrong windex ? I have here the clear kind that multi purpose and any bacterial....

Using all the others and did an OCD type elbow on it and still right there not taking any of it out...

 

Called HD - they said that gas have additives ( including oils ) in it, will take sometime for a big spill to evaporate from paint... They actually said to use windex + simple green and still none of it works... I am walking away from it and will see how it looks tomorrow...

Thanks for the informative replies...
