Foamy Engine Brite Warning?
« on: October 27, 2009, 10:03:59 AM »
Foamy Engine Brite by Gunk has a warning "do not use on motorcycles"...why? The Engine Brite Gel product lists motorcycles as one of the popular uses. Anybody know what the difference may be?

Maybe it has to do with paint and plastics?

Maybe the foam seeps around the seals a little more or something? I hear the gel works better anyway

maybe it leaves a slick residue that might get onto tires?

Someone on a bike probly used it and then did something stupid and sued the company.
I've used it with no problem.
