I use a Chux (dispoable dish cloth) dampened with kerosene. It works a treat.

Just about any solvent will do nicely. I used brake clean and rags on mine.Get the stuff free from work...

WD-40 for me on a rag!

You have to try aerosol silicone lubricant. This stuff works great. It cuts through chain lube like nothing else I've ever tried and leaves a protective film. And it doesn't seem to be harsh on the skin like most solvents.

I just spray a little on a rag or paper towel and the stuff comes right off. Works better and smells better than WD40.

This again - Honda spray cleaner & polish – you will never use any other cleaner again. It works for everything and I mean everything

Black can with white strip

Thanks all....... :thumbs:

WD40 here also...but don't be "inventive" like I did and spray it on... most likely you'll overdo it and end up with question later: "Why my rear brake doesn't work?" :knock: :knock: :knock: :lol:

Tritto! (is that a word?) Actually, it's about the only thing I use WD-40 for.

Check the label on Simple Green.

I do know it cannot be used on aluminum aircraft parts because it embrittles the aluminum. My understanding it's a highly alkaline cleaner that damages alloys and aluminum.

We've had some guys destroy the finish on their rims using it.

Food for thought.

Castrol Super Clean on a rag (that I'm throwing away).
Come on over and I'll show ya'(we live in the same town):beer:

It cuts through ALL grease and leaves some protection. WD-40 is also good.

"Tritto"

Hmmmmmm.

I like that!

What happens if we have four or more people in agreement. It looks like Webster wll have his hands full for the new Dictionary!

Pentaritto?

Yee Haa
