Good general cleaner/degreaser
Discussion
Washing my bike, I have plenty of car cleaning stuff but nothing as a general, what I refer to as 'oily covered dust' which accumulated on the underside. It's not oil leak generated but it's the stuff that builds up on engine casings and rubber hoses that are close to the road. so not to be used everywhere liberally but localised away from o rings and seals etc maybe?
I think I used SDOC 100 in the past which was excellent but not cheap, is there anything else I should try?

This stuff is magic for greasy bits in particular, BUT tread lightly as if you use it in too high concentration/leave it on too long it can etch or stain aluminium partsgavgavgav said:

^ what he said. But where gloves, it does an excellent job of degreasing your skin as well!Megaflow said:

gunk/jizzer - apply with old paint brush, hose off
rest of bike with these Vulcanet Cleaning Wipes can be used on the really gunky bits but can be hard work
It has to be Gunk. rest of bike with these Vulcanet Cleaning Wipes can be used on the really gunky bits but can be hard work
Ive tried them all but Gunk is the best ive used on my bikes that doesn't damage any surfaces / materials/paint.
Brake/clutch cleaner has its uses , I always have some cans available but can attack some surfaces , for wider, generally soiled areas Gunk and the aforementioned selection of brushes works for me.
Only other suggestion I have is dont waste your money on MucOff.
