    Are you still tweaking things Mike? Different wax maybe? My Lord,,that looks like 30 coats of clear wetted between every layer.. Maybe you just got a better camera?? I Think Craig will be happy to say the least!

    Hey Mr. Clean, have you ever done a red Tecate tank? I know the green tanks aren't just discolored on the surface so they wont work. I have a red Tecate and the tank is slighty turning white (not nearly as bad as the one at the top of this post). I don't think is discolored all the way through like the green ones but I'm not sure. Any idea?

    I would be more than happy to see if a red Tecate tank would clean up!! I think it would be great to know which ones will and wont clean up!!

    Still the same products and process!! Although I had Tanya take the photo, that is probably the reason it looks so shiny!!

    Why do we have to be left with the aftermarket tanks? What's wrong with the stock ones

    Honda used a better plastic than Kawi did, maybe the kawi tanks won't "fade" colorwise, but they will get stained and look brown.

    Red Tecate tanks don't seem to discolor like the green ones and do polish up nicely. I know Mr Cleans would look way better than this one even ( he has the products and the talent down pat).

    Wow red Tecate tank looks great. Thats even more motivation to send mine to Mr. Clean. I'll have to wait for a little extra cash though, kinda tight right now.
