Hi, anyone tried the bike brite motorcycle cleaner, if not, what are using to cleane and remove all road grime from the harlay black engine casing and that areas where you can't reach easily.
Thank you in advance.
I have been using it for about 10 years now. I dilute it 50/50 and spray it everywhere that I can't get to easily, especially the motor and wheels. I think it does a good job.

was told by friend who ran bike shop to use wd40 on engine works like a charm
Buy a gallon of all purpose cleaner, Meguiers, and mix it up to the strength you want. You can make gallons of it for $25 here in the US. Many others really good APC out there also, Multi-X by CarPro is another.
Boars hair brush like this https://www.detailedimage.com/Detail...2346/Large-S2/
Another option is a new paint brush.
Spray the APC on what you want to clean, Spray the brush and go to town.
Buying Products in concentrate form is cheaper and more versatile
I’m getting too lazy to clean my bike with a tooth brush. I bought one of those jet foamers that connect to a power washer. Put the bike up in the air on my motorcycle jack. Wet the bike down. Foam it up using MCQuires car wash. Let it sit for a while (1/2 beer), hand wash with a microfiber mitt, Spin the wheels by hand and use a wheel brush on them. Then power wash with clear water. . Don’t spray full force on any electronics. Then us a leaf blower to dry off. Then I go over the painted and chrome surfaces with F11. I’m nearly out out of F11, so in the future I’ll use the MCQuires...or something like that.
I use a power washer all the time on cars/trucks and still use a brush to agitate areas. Some grime just needs to be hit with a brush.
Chemical guys actually make some good soaps that foam pretty good and clean decent. CarPro Reset is a great neutral soap and its cleaning ability is about the best, easy to rinse off also. Also, it leaves nothing behind
