Again, great job!
Thanks!!

Ike's a 1996 model, and his frame looked awful after being submerged during the hurricane.. The combination of fully charged batteries and saltwater had turned sections of the frame black.. After cleaning the frame with a degreaser.. I sprayed on a light coat of Eagle One, let it sit until almost dry, then spray on another coat.. A stiff bristle brush will help with the stubborn spots.. After rinsing, just go back over the areas that look like they need more cleaner.. I ended up using three bottles of the cleaner to get the frame to the way it looks now.. I really wasn't going for show quality, I just wanted to remove all the discoloration and corrosion from the saltwater..
