scot oiler degreaser but also wurth chain and brake cleaner the latter works really well on sprockets and quick should be ok for other parts I assume.

parafin fella, the mutts nutts and cheaper than any sprays I use it all the time.


Use it first on the hard areas with a paintbrush, then use your normal cleaning routine to get rid of any residue.

gunk!


been around years and cheap as chips from halfords. you can get a spray can of it too for those hard to reach places. just spray it on, rub with and old paint brush and then wash it off with water.

Diesel petrol mix I get from work, when muppets cant fathom out what their car runs on.


There have been times when we have more of this stuff than we can cope with, and I tell ya, it shifts all known greasy marks and stains!!

paraffin should be fine on plastics :)

some degreasers are a no no for plastics

not that great at removing grime from brushed finished items :?

Dont get diesel near plastics(or rubber) It soaks in and makes them swell massively. Its a real problem.

Dunno if paraffin and similar things do the same, but keep diesel off plastic.

About to buy some Paraffin after reading this thread. Few questions:


1) What part of the bike should I never spray this stuff on?


2) How long do a let it soak for?


3) How much water should I mix it with..for example... 4 parts water, 1 part Paraffin, or do I spray it on concentrate?
