Someone posted a good method for cleaning stains off a white gas cap.
I tried using carb cleaner on this one, but it's not all coming off. So please give me a shout out on a way to clean it. I was thinking about painting it white, but there are a lot of paints out there which aren't fuel resistant. ; D Victor

Re: Cleaning stains off a white fuel cap
If the stains have not penetrated into the plastic, they may be removed by "polishing" the cap with automotive rubbing compound. If they have penetrated, they are now beauty-marks...

Re: Cleaning stains off a white fuel cap
Well, Beauty Marks they are! The top of the cap has become granular and even Emory cloth didn't work! I got some but not all out. It will be a reminder that the bike is 41 years old!
