I've even seen this stuff at the local dealer.

It looks to be a powder you either mix with water to form a paste of use a wet cloth to do the same. The Blue Away is a liquid similar to Ajax liquid but the abrasive is much finer. I'd bet the two products are very similar.

If you ask for BlueAway, they'll know what you're looking for. One of the local Harley dealers had a whole kit including an orbital polisher wheel (I didn't get that one). Tom

Just got some Blue Job the other day at the local dealer, 11.65 plus tax. It comes with a strip of velour type of material to use with it. Don't be surprised when you open the container, there is only about a teaspoon and a half of powder inside. If you look up the patent # on the net it tells what is in it: 20 lbs. aluminum oxide powder mixed with 8 oz. of ground walnut shell powder. You can try caswellplating.com, under buffing and polishing, they have a product called blue be gone, haven't used it yet, but it seems like a better value. I used 0000 fine steel wool instead of the applicator in the jar, it works faster and absolutely no scratches. Good luck!

I have the mixture screw turned out 3 full turns and my stock setup was a 145 main and 52.5 pilot. think I would be safe to go with a 152.5 main and 57.5 pilot? Just looking for some input

Doesn't matter what you use to remove the blue...unless you correct the lean operating parameters, it will just come right back. Spend your money on carb tweaks, and see pipe blue as a point of pride. Blue pipes equals ridden bike equals well loved bike (and in my particular case, substitute dirty bike for blue pipes). I refuse to waste time washing the bike or polishing the pipe if I'm just going to ride it the next day anyway. Leave the "shiny new look" for the butt-jewelry trailer queen posuer set. FWIW, blue job and related can/do remove chrome with each application, and Savage chrome is already hyper-thin, soft, and low grade as is.
