Brillo pads are really good at getting the dirt out of the cuts in plastic.
If you spray armor all (some use WD40, I think) on the plastic, the dirt and oil don't stick as well. I spray the armor all on the insisde of the side panels and it keeps them from staining as bad.

purple power and bleche-white work exceptionally well on plastic and aluminum or steel or whatever kind of metal you have on your bike. the only place you cant use them is on your rims or painted frames.

Any automotive place - Auto Zone, Advance Auto Parts, etc . . . - its the stuff people use to shine the dash in their car and stuff. Wal Mart has it too.
The best thing I've found for motors and other metal parts in that area is brake cleaner in an aerosol spray bottle - but keep it on the metal - I suppose it could mess up your plastic or graphics.

Try Plexus, It's a plastic cleaner, and it works wonders !!! You should be able to get it at your local dealer.Aluminum acid works really good on the engine(but don't use it on your wheels,they turn kind of black) but it will polish off!!

Hit all the built up dirty spots with the power washer first, then........with bike wet, spray with squirt bottle full of 50/50 Simple Green/water (walmart), hit with power washer again........no need to scrub! Lube chain, perches, kick starter, peg and shifter pivots......make sure air filter is clean and dry........rock and roll.

I REALLY like Pro Clean, it works better than ANYTHING I've use including Simple Green and a bunch of others by a long shot!
Now Donnie has his own method that you might decide to use, I wouldn't suggest it though http://www.dirtrider.net/gallery/showimage.php?i=1371&c=

I use Goo Gone to break through the grease, and simple green for everything else.
