Want to get the streaks off of your trailer, RV, or motorhome without the alot of elbow grease. "LA's Awesome" cleaner. I get it at Dollar Store. Others have it also. Only $1.00 a bottle. Spray on wipe off.

Dollar Tree's version of CLR will clean rust and crud off of bolts and hardware. Let them soak for a day or two.
They don't have it all the time, so if you see some , grab about a half a dozen bottles.
If not , Zep's version is cheaper than CLR..Get it at the sticks and bricks store.

Looks like everyone has a favorite , been in the Harley world now for 27 years so I have tried a lot of great polishes . But the best I have found at is available at Walmart , its called Cape Cod Polishing clothes . American made and this will leave a protective coating resisting future tarnish . here's a link https://www.walmart.com/ip/Cape-Cod-...-Each/23500565

I have also used the Awesome orange from dollar Stores - works well.
They also have a refill bottle (clear plastic, yellow liquid) for $1 which makes 3 to 5 refills - for a couple of bucks you can do a trailer! Stuff also cleans under hood on used cars, Spray on - let sit, Hose off!

Good stuff!

Working on the Drag Pack that has a S 60 Dana housing. Is it neat or what, it has screw adjusters to set the back lash and carrier bearing preload . No more spreading the case and adjusting the carrier with shim packs.

What doesn't work is calling the tech line and receiving incorrect information. I did some further looking on their web sight and found the correct procedure to set preload. I'm real happy I double checked, it saved me a bad day at the races, money for parts, and a lot of work.

Its a good product, I think.

I'm all for clean and shiny cars ,but over the Winter a lot of racers forget about one of the most important things ,other than a win light , Brakes !
Take some time to inspect the hoses. ... if they are more than five years old replace them ,they are cheap insurance.
Flush out the old brake fluid and replace it with quality racing brake fluid like Wilwood's 570 Plus ,or other high quality DOT 4 fluid.
Brake fluid is hygroscopic ,it absorbs moisture and over time becomes corrosive to your steel and aluminum brake components .
We all want to keep the shiny side up !

I always had issues with rear end seepage after a few months of racing . The bolts, even though they are self locking with Loctite always pounded out the gasket and leaked .. This gasket ends all that. It's a steel shim with reusable gasket material on both sides... and their cheap ..

Never wasted my time with a gasket on a 9". A tube of Ultra Black RTV and self locking nuts on the studs works for me. I used copper washers under the nuts.
