Excellent rustyhondas!! Call out the only person that I am aware of that spends the time and effort to clean up these tanks.... I am not getting rich and comments like this make me question if I should even bother.....The reality is people I have dealt with appreciate the hard work!
Yeah Mike, how come you didn't polish the inside of my tank.:lol:
I have spent more money on freaking axle bearings then Mike charged me to refinish my tank. There is always going to be one in the crowd, don't sweat it. I truly appreciate the hard work and time you put into each and every one of these, even if they aren't mine. These bikes are quickly becoming beyond the ability for the average guy to maintain and keep looking nice. If it wasn't for guys like you we would be forced to do it our self and risk it not being close to what you do, or drop a couple hundo on a sub-par aftermarket tank .
Keep up the good work and you never have to worry about what I think you mean to the trike community.

I just spent a bunch of time reading up on your process Mr.Clean in another thread. There has got to be some man hours in this work. All the tanks look 500% better than when they were when you received them. Simply great work. Thanks for putting in the time and effort to make this service available. I don't own and R but I'm pretty sure I will buy a few tanks and just let you work your magic incase I ever come across one!
Rustyhondas, got any pictures of your handy work? I'm betting not...
There are some people you could walk up to and hand a $100 bill and they would b!tch that it wasn't new and crisp.

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 :lol:
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.
