    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Aluminum cleaner/polish

POR-15 has very clear and complete instructions for each of their products on their website, including the prep process

Simply spraying a polished part down with carb and choke cleaner gets 99% of any kind of residue off. Wipe down quickly with a soft, lint-free cloth and you are pretty much done. Small crevices may be tricky, but they are for any purpose.

I personally have not used the two-part clear. However, I have helped several friends use POR-15 on their 4X4s. The stuff is nearly bulletproof. You almost can't chisel it off. Gas doesn't touch it. Don't paint anything with the stuff that you plan on stripping later, you're better off buying a new part. Rust? Don't think so. I'm seriously thinking of using their Black Velvet exhaust coating on my header pipes. They have a money-back guarantee. The only complaint I've ever heard about a POR-15 product is that the stuff won't come off. Well, you shouldn't have painted over those phillips-head screws in the first place.....

Honestly, if I knew it wouldn't retain heat (and could afford it), I'd paint my entire engine with the stuff.

If you have any questions about the clear, email them. I for one have had such good luck with their other products (including their marine seal, salt water doesn't touch it) that I would have no problem using it on my bike other than financial. I'm a bit broke right now. The stuff was literally designed to seal bare metal, and they're a great company.
