Wd40 works very well on the pipe altho thats after the dirt is of

I use castrol super clean degreaser. Then when its dry and it will look extra dry after that stuff i use some amorall on everything. Works great.

Somtimes it doesnt get all the grease off the plastics and the super clean leaves a funky film on the swingarm forks and bars so I use some adheasive remover to get that stuff gone. I think i have the cleanest 10+ year old bikes around :nod:

to degrease the engine and frame i use a toothbrush with kerosene. if its only dirt i use only the toothbrush no kerosene. then i make a normal soap wash after.
but i dont know if it can harm the engine.

i use the wd-40 after a wash to remove and prevent rust especially on the pipe and frame.

castrol super clean for sure! put it on fully concentrated on a dry bike, let it set about 5 minutes, pressure wash off. Then reapply and scrub where you need it

Purple stuff FTW....or like Auto zones Heavy Duty Engine degreaser*its orange and smells like veggies* but it will eat everything off it. may want to keep a thing of Neverdull or something if you use that cuz it makes aluminum look pretty bad(cleans up real easy)

Super clean blows all other degreasers away by a mile. The others are just a waste of money (not trying to be a dick). Ive got a shop and the superclean dissolves the best. Ive tried all sorts of stuff and the castrol always prevails.

Chain wax has some weird solvent, and works very well to cut grease and ground in dirt on plastics. I only use a little for tough spots or wheel cleaning. The rear wheel is always the worst in supermoto. Leaves a wax coating behind too :nod: As far as aluminum goes, if it's cast and not polished, nothing really works that good short of a scotch brite pad or bead blasting.

Kero is the only cleaner you need for your dirt bike

The Best Engine Cleaner On Planet Earth

Is..........EngineBrite original (yup, the flammable one) just don't use it on blacktop (at least yours) or on a hot bike.
Now before all you earthnazis go off on me, I only use it when it is really really necessary. This stuff is the nuclear option for grime.
