what is the best way to remove grease and dirt

[mikey's250sx]

is there a magic chemical i can buy or am i just going to need a case of engine degreaser and a gallon of simple green? gotta strip the frame down to get ready for painting.

Take it to the local car wash, and for about 1 dollar you can have your motor spotless. Most car washes have an Engine Degrease mode on the dial, turn it there and blast away.

I like the stuff called "Greased Lightning", seems to work well on light grease.

I use a steamer power washer that runs on diesel fuel, it works great!! Just have to watch out for the stickers.

parts brush and carb cleaner, then use the hose, and THEN the car wash.

uh gas and a wire brush goes along way...maybe you could pour colman fuel on it and stand really far away and light it and then see all the paint and greas burn off...then im sure the car was with that engine degreaser would get the rest...that stuff dont work well without help..unless its really light grease or brake dust

brake cleaner, and then water, works wonders. WD-40 will also take grease off pretty good.

Go ride it in the DUNES for a couple of days, IMO! :p

Spray 9 and a pressure washer...works good...or varsol and a brush lol

For grease and grim I think Easy Off oven cleaner works the best.

Burn it off!!! I took to a company here in town called Fimco (they make Ag sprayers and stuff) and they put my frame and swing arm in an oven and actually burned off the paint and grime before sanding blasting it. Then it was put on the line with the products they normally make to be powdercoated. I feel like I stole something because they did it for $65.

Well there is this stuff called Power Out (I think thats what its called.. I'll check in a little bit), that works very well. Its a grease remover, and its very powerful stuff. Just spray it on, and let it sit.. as long as you don't care about your paint.. it will eat paint right off..

[trikerider2oo7]

i put castrol superclean all over my whole bike about 10mins before i wash it. leave it set and pressure wash it all off. and i dont need gloves. never hurt me before

[nouseforaname90]

Its not called power out.. its called Power Dissolver by Dawn. Very powerful. As long as you dont care about losing the paint on your trike, use it..

[monster 84r]

i just use diesel motor degreaser, stufs pretty cheap, and it works good on a warm motor with dirt and grime.

Krud Kutter, home depot got it. I spray it on and power wash it off.

i Belive there is a cleaner called purple that is hard to find but it does wonders.
