How do I clean the alloy castings

Like the fork/caliper mounts, triple clamps and footpeg carrier assemblies etc?

tried wd40 and little toothbrush, sort of effective but hard work and it seems the cleaning fluid the hand car wash folks used is pretty effective but now sort of have streaks/runs on the front brake carrier/casting.

Thx

Simple Green works great .

spray it on - use a paint brush to scrub it around and hose off .

johnny

hah, thanks. Stone polish?

I used to use in NZ this pasty/gel stuff called quick n brite I think. that would get anything off anything.

I use Pro Honda Spray on my entire bike, it works wonderfully. It also loosen the dead bugs. Great product i recommend.

Muc-Off

I use muc off, doesnt clean the casting like the stuff the car wash people use

the car wash folks wouldn t tell me either. It cleans the mankiest allow wheels , though they do use a waterjet to hose off, but my castings still has runs down them from the spray they used

i hear hard work and elbow grease is good

hush. i did, with a toothbrush. anything more would abrade the kind of sand cast finish no?

They probably use wheel cleaner. Basically, it's an acid.

When I was a student I worked weekends and vacations at a carwash.
Every couple of weeks I could throw my working trousers away because there were holes in them. These were caused by the mist that got on them while spraying the product on the wheels.

i have found that turps and a toothebrush gets it all off

Gunk and a toothbrush....... but clean the toothbrush after use as your wife will be able to taste it

hi all
kitchen degreaser for me , cheapo stuff from aldi and lidl,on spray bottle states ok on plastics for short while , works a treat as my bikes are always lagged in oil all over .
has not harmed one yet , just leave in on for two mins max and hose off. tried all the other types muc off etc .its all more or less the same.

Does London no longer have illegal immigrants that you can grossly underpay to clean the stuff for you?
