Default Cleaning inside the Monster Oval tips

I was just wondering, when is being **** to ****? I mean who cleans the inside of their exhaust? LOL

I washed the bike this morning (damn road construction on my road) and I was looking at the inside of my Monster Oval. I have 5,500 miles on them and the inside of the pipes were all back and sutty from the exhaust.

So I tried to clean them just for sh$ts and jiggles. They wouldn't clean, I couldn't wipe any of that stuff out of there. So I went and got an old "Meguiars Power Ball" that I had in the back of a box. I never did like how it worked. It threw wax everywhere, so I quit using it. Actually I only used it once and it didn't help any at all to clean my wheels anyway on my car.

I stuck it on the end of a drill, one that is electric outlet powered, not battery powered. It saps to much juice for a battery drill. Again nothing got cleaned out. So I thought about my "Cajin Shine All". That is suppose to clean anything with no trouble at all. BOOM !!!!! as these young whipper snappers say. In about 30 seconds I had the inside on those Monster Ovals as shiney as when they were new.

I know, probaly the first trip and they will be black again but hey I like it when something actuall works.

I wish I had taken the before pictures, but I didn't think it was gonna work. LOL





That "Cajin Shine All" has got to be the best lazy man's wax out there.

Every couple rides, I use some chrome cleaner on the inside of the tips and they come clean & shiny.....of course mine are flipped, so you see more of the inwards....so they have to be kept clean..

I also have MO's and I just spray some "Mean Green" or "Simple Green" in the tip and it washes right out with the hose every time.

Same place a guy from Texas does: http://www.cajunshineall.com/

Just buy the wax, I'm sure you don't need more Micro Fiber towels.
Walmart is where I bought the "Meguiars Power Ball". It's the smaller ball. They have two sizes.

The Cajun Shine is a great detailer. I wouldn't use it like they say. They want you to use it on a dirty bike. I do use it on a dusty bike, but not a dirty bike. I put some one one rag, then wipe it off with another clean rag.

It's good for chrome, paint, windshields. Wipe on, wipe off. I'm not **** enough to use a paste wax.........and before I was given this by a friend I was using a Meguiars' detailer but this doesn't attract dust, like the Meguiars did.

Lucky you, I bought mine used or I would have gotten the Black Tips too.
Not for this scenario, but just for the looks in general.

Been there. Did that.

Simple green and a tooth brush. Wipe it off. Won't harm anything.
