[QUOTE="Gary Gittleson, post: 123647, member: 3625"] I just spoke to Eastwood. The fellow I spoke to used to ride a Norton but gave it up when his brother got killed on a bike. I wish we didn't have to live with that threat. Anyhow, he said that the product would help prevent discolorization but he wasn't sure if it would be a complete solution. He also recommended acetone as a cleaning agent for used pipes. I reminded him that the video promotes their cleaner and that used pipes will have carbon buildup to be removed but he said acetone is better for that. That reply seemed strange to me. It could be a sign of honesty or just one of ignorance. I may give this a try over the winter and report the results -- probably in the spring, after a bit of riding with newly-cleaned and protected pipes. Do any of you performance pros have an opinion about the idea of keeping the heat inside the pipes? Not that I plan to race. [/QUOTE]
