    Looking for some help on this one, long story short, I had my bike stored in a shed snd the idiot also sharing sprayed some stuff on my rearsets which has soaked in and stained them a cloudy colour.

    i have no clue if it was a cleaning product or detailing type spray but i have tried rubit clean and nothing so far has worked.

    These were as new condition and spotless so to say I am abit pi$$ed off is an understatement as they were not a cheap purchase.

    So has anyone any suggestions what i can use? They are anodised too as far as I know if this makes any odds?

    Next step is finding a detailer who can maybe compound them as I am afraid of making them works.

    Any help appreciated, pic below:

    It looks like the base plate is showing signs of going furry, I’m not sure it will come out.
    You might have to get them re-anodised. It might be worth a call to your local plating company.
    Have you asked what the spray was?
    Sorry, probably not the answer you were looking for.

  3. I think restoring any coloured anodised parts back to the original finish is impossible, even if you could remove the damage from the cleaner which I doubt they've faded as well so you've Lost that original black colour.
    I think the only options are re anodising, no idea how expensive that is, or probably the way I'd go would have the rear sets and the bracket behind powder coated satin black so everything's matches.

    This is one of the reasons I'm not a fan of chemical sprays such as muc-off, people may say it's fine if you follow the instructions and don't let it dry, don't do it in the sun, don't do it if you bikes even slightly warm, but why risk permanent damage to your bike when you can just use soapy water.
    This isn't directed at the OP, I know it wasn't him who caused the damage, just my general opinion.
