Cleaning your bike Somebody asked us "How do i get all that oil and
grease off my engine, rims and the like? Can i use that cheap
degreaser? What works and how well?"
Summary:
* the $2 spraycans of degreaser from The_Reject_Shop have
been used with good results.
* kerosine in a pump pack works well
* use an old paint brush, you can cut the bristles right
back for a good scrub. Toothbrushes are good too.
* Spray_&_Wipe is good for steel wheels
* Mr_Sheen is good for painted alloy rims
* Autosol, Gumption etc.. for the other bits, thinners
for carbies.
* Detergent for paintwork followed by polish.
