Dry powderWhich BKF did you use?
Dry (comet cleanser) type or watered down squeeze bottle?
I just cleaned a PD muffler a couple minutes ago and it’s shining like chrome?
That's odd. I've used BKF for 15 years on the ST and other bikes and it always works. Try wetting a small sponge or bit of terry cloth and pouring a palmful of BKF on it. Work it into a thick paste then lightly rub the wetted surface of the stainless with the sponge/cloth. I've even used paper towel for this. Leave it on 2 or 3 minutes and rinse clean.
Only if their humor is in the toilet……Everybody's a comodian
I did not mean to make it sound like Larry gave me bad info, I guess I expected it to work with no work on my part, BKF works great, just have to help it a little bitAlright, this am, I got off my lazy butt and went to work. I pulled my saddle bags off, then removed my mufflers. With them off, it's a much easier task to do. In Igofar's first post he said.
"Polishing them takes way too long.
Use Bar Keepers Friend, make a paste in a small bowl, wet the mufflers, and apply the paste, then let it sit for just a couple minutes.
The chemical is what does the cleaning, not the rubbing, or polishing."
So I pasted it on heavy, expecting that to do it, and was disappointed by the results. So elbow grease and about an hour of actual work later, I'm happy with my shiny mufflers. Thanks everyone
