I use a pressure washer to clean it but doesnt everyone , bike is less than a year old ! One good thing about black is it only comes in one color! Well allmost, as you got Gloss, semi-flat and flat texture! Find your poison and skuff it a bit to blend. Rattle can heaven!

Rattle can heaven! Is the Evo frame painted or powder coated? My black frame is holding up okay, even after dropping it MANY times.
October 24, 201114 yr mine seems ok fingers crossed. It looks anodised to me but couldn't be 100% sure!

No problem with mine, and no, I don't use a pressure washer, for MANY reasons, including the one you are describing.
October 24, 201114 yr I thought it was impossible for anodising to "peel off" as it isnt actually a coating as such?
October 24, 201114 yr Have a look at Brads at the next Trial , he uses a pressure washer and think the frames ok. The Graphics on the other hand is a different story.
October 28, 201114 yr Author Hi Want to let you all know John Lampkin at Beta UK came up trumps ! I am very happy to accept the carbon frame covers and decals he kindly sent me within a day of my complaint. I sent him a short note advising him of the problem , in no way was I looking for a new frame and am perfectly happy with the outcome. Once again John and Beta Uk have excelled. A big thank you from me.
