I've used a mother's clay bar on my classic with some lubricant. The result was amazing! You won't believe just how smooth your paint feels and how much cleaner it looks after the paint.

It's pretty safe too... just keep the surface lubricated at all times and let the clay glide over it.

If they clay falls on the ground THROW IT AWAY! It WILL pick up particles that WILL scratch your paint. Otherwise it's totally safe...

Try Kerosene or Diesel... Just be sure not to leave it on the paint for obvious reasons.

You can put some on your hand or on a pad or something and rub the areas you should see them move, some may need a little more effort though.

I've used kerosene on mine to get off some really baked on tar already.

Is the G220 the 220 volt version of the G110? I've been thinking of getting the G110v2 for some time now. But a 220 volt version would be so much nicer!
