My friend recently got a motorcycle. Its in pretty good condition considering its 1990 Ninja ZX600. Its got a nice blue and black paint. The black paint has a nice blue flake to it. Anyway its kinda bad on the gas tank. I guess the previous owner wasn`t careful when filling up and some dripped over the tank. We tried a couple of things on it and it didn`t touch the gas etching. I tried claying, VM, and Scratch Out(only thing around). We are wondering if its possible to remove this etching??? Maybe a little compounding??? Attached are some pictures. The whole bike isn`t like this, its just zoomed in pictures of it. They are very small portions(2"x 2") on the gas tank. Any suggesstions/comments are welcome.

TIA :wavey

I would just use 3M RC on an small area to see what happens. 3M won´t hurt your clear.



I think if the previous owner had it neglected, he did not polish ever so the clear should have the original thickness. So go ahead!!
