Scotchbrite?! What the heck?! This is like the guy, when I worked as a detailer at a Nissan dealership, that had tree sap on his 300Z and took steel wool to it to try to get it off. He wanted us to try to buff the car. He had actually cut down to primer is some areas.
NEVER use an abrasive pad on paint...unless you're prepping it for repainting.

Yeah that is what I was thinking. My God never use one of thoes on any surface that you don't want to redo.

So yesterday I went out into my garage to install my Dakota Digital gauge I got for christmas on my Iron883. Install was easy as pie. Afterward I stood ....................... I'm suspicious of everyone. Does anybody have an idea of what could have caused these stains???
Hers are some pictures of the stains (disregard the scratching, I did that)

Galvatron... unfortunately the denim black paint finish is almost impossible to maintain in original condition... there are touch-up pens and you can even buy a quart of the paint online from the HD website ... denim black paint also seems to be pretty chemical resistant... when I got tired of my tank being scratched up just by riding the bike.... I decided to "rattle can" it... well... I applied thick coats of Zip Strip paint remover... it didn't do anything to the denim black paint... it seems to be some sort of tough epoxy finish... I do not see an easy way to fix the damage done to your tank but to repaint that area or perhaps the whole tank...
