That was the whole idea. Just like your favorite pair of jeans (denim,
get it?) the finish was supposed to wear in. You're supposed to ride 'em
people, not obsess about cleanin' 'em!

Well, if it was me, I think I'd use soap and a small, soft brush using
circular motions, rubbing longer instead of harder until the mark
comes off.

I really don't think there is. When I was looking at it the guys in
shop said once its's marred it's done. Their suggestion was don't
even rub it hard if you wash it. Damn. Rewrote that twice and it
still sounds dirty.

Once you realize that the finish will be different afterward (probably
shiny), it just becomes a matter of removing the black without removing
the paint. And that is a matter of what made the scuff, which I'm
thinking was probably a boot or something similar. And if she was riding
with her legs wrapped around ya, and her heals were bouncing on the tank,
ya just might want to leave it as a souvenier.

Used to call Levi's like that *originals*. That'd be a pair of pants
ya never, ever, washed. Black was th' color of choice fer obvious
