I have pressure washed it and tried purple power, but it has gunk grease caked on it. around the a arms swingarm and on the engine, it had some seal leaks apparently for a while, i have fixed these but im trying to clean it up to sell it, any ideas on an easy way to get this stuff off? thanks

lmao..... i really screwed up, but i did find out what can get gunk off... i tried oven cleaner, if you just put it on for an hour or so it does ok, so i decided to leave it on overnight.... DO NOT DO THIS.... it ruined the polish on all my aluminum, where the paint was thin or chipped the paint around it came off... so now i was wondering how much i would be looking at to powder coat the frame... thanks...

I always had good luck with Purple Power. Heavily greasy areas do need some elbow grease. The PP will oxidize aluminum if you leave it on there too long. I used Easy Off to remove painted on pin stripes before.
