It seems to remove it. I tried it the other day after someone at the dealer told me about it while I was buying some Pig Spit. At first it looked like the area that I wiped off with the Skin So Soft was a different color black, but after it dried it was o.k.Try a small area first-see how it works. You also get no overspray.
I can't keep from wondering what you where doing in the garage, alone, with skin so soft, and Q-tips???? [sm=confused06.gif][sm=chattypair.gif]Wait, I don't wanna know!
I use black shoe polish in small amounts and brush on with tooth brush and brush off with clean brush.
All my bikes have had black motors and i have found this to be the easiest for me. when the bikes heats up it gets real black again
