Removing Chain Wax
 
I have a prob, I use chain wax instead of lube and I have managed to get the wax on my rim. Does anyone know what might remove the wax without removing the powdercoat?

Simple Green. Great stuff. I will use it some times to get chain lube off my powercoated swingarm.

WD-40 bro works great at taking grease off and alot of other stuff without the worries of staining.

honda and kawasaki polish are made for cleaning and polishing bikes... my bikes are spotless after a minor amount of elbow grease, a lot of clean rags turned dirty and the use of said products.

ALWAYS... when polishing your bike use soft cloths (cotton tshirt or sheet material)

my bikes never get washed with water... a quick dust off with compressed air then onto the polish. it's simple and always looks better than a washed bike. plus, it won't rust.

I agree with ya heffy... i hate to wash my bike with water, but it needs it after a few months and when i do I dry it with compressed air and then shoot a nice coat of WD-40 on all the motor and other mechanical parts to keep them protected. Then wax plastic and polish the whels... I have to say that after a year my bike looks better then when i bought it.

also LUCAS oil makes this new detailer which is so bad ass..... it cleans, polishes and leaves a wax coating over the paint, but what sucks is that is doen't take grease off like Honda polish does

Powder coat is pretty tough stuff, I have my Tecate4 frame powder coated and I use brake wash on it pretty often, Shoot some brake wash on a shop rags and wipe your wheels off then give it a quick buff with a clean rag. You can use some pretty costic stuff on powder coat.
