I have a Black x1. The tank,front wind screen, and front fender have what looks like moisture under the paint. It is blotchy and looks like it might have some kind of chemical on it. When I bought the bike TWO days ago I put a cover on it to bring it home and when I took it of there I was. It is not scratches and I have waxed, washed, used rubbing compound. Nothing I've used will take it of. The weird thing is the same blotches are on the tank decals and some metal parts. Any info would be great. Don't want to repaint.

I thought that the X-1s had the color moulded into the plastic. Could you have possibly got some road salt/slush on the bike. That stuff is gnarley....Kenny

btw: I see that you work for the RR in MO. I used to work in K.C. for the BNSF. How's the weather out there?

Today it is 50 high 63. I don't know what it is on the plastic. I will try to get some pics on here.
