  1. Does anyone have any tips on removing rub marks on the clear
    coat of carbon cranks? Can I use something like turtle wax
    after I clean the cranks and expect an improvement? Thanks
    for any help or website links. Eric

    If you do intend to use an auto wax be sure to check the label to determine if it is a 'cleaner/wax' as apposed to strictly a polish wax only. (The former will have a very slight abrasive compound in it, and will further thin/remove the clear coat on your carbon cranks. (An extreme example of a cleaner wax would for instance be polishing compound).

    Lemon Pledge works for me.

  4. Thanks Cipher and Kenny, Lemond Pledge sounds crazy enough
    to try and turtle wax does contain abrasives so I won't be
    using that. Thanks. Eric
