Bird Crap and "Crappy" Paint

[edgeman55]

Bottom line the only real fix for the crap paint on these bikes is a new paint job.I wiil be amazed if Honda does anything for this problem and my local dealer really has done nothing for me except the Honda corperate response to them to apply 3M finess and Honda wax!!
I love this bike to much to make this a deal killer so I will save my mula and get a nice custom paint job in the future.Until then I guess I will learn to love to polish my baby!!

Last night I finally decided to pull off the Honda letters front and rear for a smoother look and now it really looks bad. How can I fix it? It's all swirled and I can see the "impression" of the letters on the paint where the sticky stuff was holding the letters.

I used "goof off" number 2, it's the one that's safe for plastic to remove the residue. Then I used my Zanio products and got it looking ok but not great. A top of the line non-abrasive swirl mark remover will help a little. I got the outline off no problem but my bike hadn't been in the sun even a minute when I took them off. You can see some small scratch marks around the area because of the stupid dealer who decided to be nice and remove most of them for me. They scratched it up, I could have killed them for doing that!

I bought some Scratch X on my way home today. I'll try it in the morning and see what happens.
