Blue Away
Blue Away Review Blue Away “Motorcycle Exhaust Blue Remover Cream” didn’t work very well in this trial. The Counterman rang up my order and announced “That’ll be $41.63.” I remember thinking that it seemed like a lot of dosh for an oil filter, a small bottle of Blue Away (2.5 ounces, to be exact) and …
Motorcycle Carburetor Cleaning and Adjustment
The “Poor Man’s” Carb Adjustment Sometimes, you can get lucky and a simple can of carb cleaner works magic. The Triumph Tiger had been sitting in the dealer’s showroom for several months with a half-full tank of gas when I bought it in the Fall of 2004. The dealer didn’t start it, nor did he …

Motorex Helmet Care Review
Motorex Helmet Care Helmet Cleaner Motorex Helmet Care cleans helmet liners. It can also clean the outside of the helmet shell, but we’d rather use other products for that job. It has a sickly-sweet perfume or chemical smell, which is strange, considering the purpose of the product. Motorex Helmet Care can be hard to find; …
Glare Spider Review
Glare “Spider” Swirl Remover Review Like the Glare Professional Polish (review), the Glare Spider Swirl Remover really does work. It takes a bit of “elbow grease”. And make sure you follow the directions to the letter. But when used in combination with Glare Polish as the final coat, you can restore the paint with most …
Glare Professional Polish Review
Glare Polish Review A little more work to apply but the results are well worth the effort. Still the best stuff around after…oh, 10 years or so?
