I'm starting to clean up my Moto repainting, polishing and degrease and I haven't found an effective way to get all of the grease and grime off of the cylinders jugs and fins. Any suggestions that don't have to do with repainting?

Alloy Wheel cleaner or soaked in diesel for a bit

I have not really found any short cuts when it comes to getting between the fins.

I use a small bottle brush and Muc-Off with lots of patience.

Only I get to touch my bike, the slave, sorry teenaged son, has to mow the lawns and wash the cars plus various other odd jobs which frees me up for more interesting things.

It used to be like that, but then I wised up. I am more in command these days.

our org chart:

Breadwinner (Me)

Personal assistant to breadwinner (dog)

Chief bread spender (wife)

Vice bread spenders, 2 number (kids)

autosol metal polish or if very bad go online & lookup BLUEJOB
its a veryfine powder & you only need a slightly damp rag/cloth
to apply i was amazed how fast it was

I'd steer clear of alloy wheel cleaner - it is very aggressive.

Could be worth getting major comoponents - ultrasonically cleaned?

Al

A cleaning product called Elbow Grease usually sold at bargain type shops.Works better than alloy wheelcleaners & costs less than a quid.

I've got some truckwash stuff - I'll give it a go

good old white spirits good . very overlooked as a cleaner , its ace at tar spots , then soapy water with a shot of meths and a dash of vinegar ,,, but its the elbow grease that makes the difference.
