My GPz550 screen is super dirty. I mean, it’s shockingly bad…
Well, I could buy a new one, but
it costs quite a bit to get the bike running, so I’m the type who wants to use what I can!

Yeah! Saving money = reasonable and exciting, progressing little by little. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve introduced it many times before “Ceramic compound” <\/a><\/strong>It’s also effective on exterior scratches.
*Basically it works by removing material…
It cleans up really nicely, so I think it’s worth having one bottle on hand. <\/p>\n\n\n<\/a>\n\n\t\t

You can see through the screen, but… it’s really dirty <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Don’t you get the impression that a dirty screen alone costs you 10 horsepower?
It’s such a disappointing finish that it could be nominated for Miss Miserable.

When it’s this dirty, you start wondering how clean you can actually get it.
Even if I mess up, it’s OK! I want to give it a shot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The screen mounting method is so bad it’s hopeless <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They must have worked hard back then to come up with a mounting method that wouldn’t break the screen.
“Steel bolt + damper to plastic nut” <\/span><\/strong>
If you naively follow the same mounting method, it breaks repeatedly and maintenance is terrible. <\/strong>
I’ll write about this in a different post (*\u00b4\u03c9\uff40*) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The screen’s coating is peeling off <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Of course there are scratches, but when you rub it with your fingernail, it peels off in little pieces.
In other words, it’s become a super annoying situation.

Since solvents would dissolve it, I lightly wiped it with a cloth dampened with a tiny bit of gasoline and it peeled right off.
Gasoline was the quickest way to remove this coating.
*If you overdo it, it gets hazy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ceramic compound – perfect finish on fine scratches <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

After about 40 minutes of work, it got to this point.
Of course, that includes the time spent rubbing off the coating.

When it’s in really bad condition, using a polisher is easier.
You can use it on light scratches on clean screens too, so if you try it, you’ll get a nice finish.

Of course you can use it on fuel tanks and other exterior parts,
but basically it works by removing material, so be careful when using it.
I also polished the used exterior parts on my Zephyr 550 with this and they became really shiny.
Motorcycle exteriors look clean as long as they have decent shine.
Just a little effort makes the appearance look so much better.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Please, now that the outside temperature is dropping, on an autumn evening? Or an autumn afternoon?
Polish away, rub rub rub.

Love might save the earth… thank you very much. <\/p>\n\n\n\t\t
