[rdlsz24]

Super clean cut grease instantly when you spray it on. Walmart sells it

Best engine degreaser you will find anyplace is at your local grocery store. Oven cleaner. Get the foam stuff and soak it. You will be amazed how well it works. I use to use simple green and purple power and all the name brand stuff. I will use nothing but oven cleaner now. Its amazing

Yeah the cleaners meant for the kitchen work great, stuff that lifts grease up. Simple Green and Dawn both are great at removing grease and dirt :)

Formula 88 is also pretty good .

I wonder if Kaboom would work.

I started using oven cleaner from the dollar store.

Super cheap, well, a dollar..
and mis thinking it MAY be comapatible with cooking bacon
or brats on the exhaust manifold.

read the directions,

it might say to keep away from rubber and plastic.

I warm up the engine and CAREfully spray it where I want it to go.

Let it sit a bit, restart the engine and gently spray it off
so I can see if/where the water stream kills the engine
and find the weak electrical places on the trike.

If it's warm when it dies, it'll prob dry enuf from being
warm (NOT hot)

I know, just don't get them dirty!

Simple Green is awesome. One bottle of that stuff has cleaned a couple bikes and a trike, and the rest of my house for over a year and I still have some. Used it on my new to me YT175.

I work at a car detailing shop and we use varsol and it works very well,just spray it on give it a light scrub and rinse it off.If you have some grease/dirt on plastic part use the varsol then hit it with some multi purpose cleaner and then spray it off(we use a pressure washer) and it will be squeeky clean.We do this on some petty nasty engine bays and the stuff comes wright off

I second the Purple Power it works great....
