Canadian Bird Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 What's the best method, other than warm soapy water, to clean Titanium pipes. I don't want to use metal polish b/c it blemishes the pipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXBIRD Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I use Honda Polish but make sure they are completely cooled down. WD-40 to remove the chain oil too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustard Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 I use WD40 on mine. Come up looking like new, oil just wipes off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little WD-40 like others mentioned, once in a while i'll drag the rag over it after using Honda Polish on the bike and stuff don't stick to it as bad, like your face shield and front of the bike, a little polish makes it slick.

Canadian Bird Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 Is there something special about Honda polish? or will Mother's, Maguires, or the like be ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told that polish on the titanium will cause staining or discoloration if your not careful, so I have never tried any type of polish just in case....They come up so clean with the WD40 that I don't feel the need to try anything else.
