Hey,
So I've got my ped (hobbit) disassembled and I am wanting to clean it. Get it all spiffy. Detail it, so to say.
The case is grody but the paint is all nice. What should I use (carb cleaner, brake cleaner, dish soap, etc..) to polish up the case?
The whole motor is off and still sealed up (excepting the open end of the carb), and I figure I can get the case cleaned but I wonder about all the electricals.
Should I seal them up or will a little soapy water not bother the ends of wires when there's nothing connected?
For the paint of the frame and fender, what's good there? Good ol' car shampoo, I figure.
And finally for the spoke wheels: Toothpaste and toothbrush? Or do I need something a little more abrasive than plastic bristles?
Also, what kind of extra power can I expect after detailing?
Thanks guys for any input.
