AbsoLut Posted December 19, 2003 Report Posted December 19, 2003 My motor and various parts have dirt and grease on them.. How in the hell do i clean it.. i tried usin a high pressured water thing but it don't work.. i'm thinkin maybe take the engine out and give it a good scrubbin? I tried it on the grease shit and it won't come off.. :\ Any solutions? My pop's was tellin me about something called Degreaser or D-Greaser or w/e.. wondered if anyone has tried this or could recommend something.. ty Quote
TheNewGuy Posted December 19, 2003 Report Posted December 19, 2003 hey man, yeah you can go to NAPA or any car part store and just ask for some engine degreaser...it usually comes in an arosol (spelling) can...spray it on the engine, let it bubble a bit, and wash clean....DONT GET IT ON PAINT...it will ruin/strip your paint on your jugs and DONT GET IT ON RUBBER...it'll eat away at your intake boots etc...it's an acid so it'll do it's acidic things and make your engine nice and shiney...

AbsoLut Posted December 19, 2003 Author Report Posted December 19, 2003 Nice, thanks bro.. i'm about to take the shee up to my grandparents house where they got a heated garage so i can work on her in peace.. i'm thinkin about just takin the engine out.. cleaning it up... Hey what's it look like underneath the black shit? I'm thinkin about sand blastin the black shit off it and just shining it the f*ck up Quote
TheNewGuy Posted December 19, 2003 Report Posted December 19, 2003 its just like bare aluminum....if you look at the top of your cases (right underneath your carbs)...its like that...just a dull aluminum color...a lot of people polish them up...just takes a LONG time and a lot of elbow grease...

wheeleymaster99 Posted December 19, 2003 Report Posted December 19, 2003 yeah what i just do id get some foming degreaser and it works fine for me Quote
AbsoLut Posted December 19, 2003 Author Report Posted December 19, 2003 K, is there anything i would put on it while doin the old fashioned elbow grease? Quote
Holyman Posted December 19, 2003 Report Posted December 19, 2003 Go to Autozone or Walmart and buy engine degreaser in a spray can. Spray it on and let it set for a few minutes. use a parts brush or toothbrush to loosen the grease and then hose it off. even works great on painted parts. Quote
Yamahammer Posted December 19, 2003 Report Posted December 19, 2003 simple green works good But i read on here it is caustic but never had a problem as long as you rinse it off well.. The best stuff i have ever used is CASTROL super clean avaliable at auto parts store... Be warned do not apply the stuff to a dry bike or paint it will discolor it but if you hose the bike down real well first and then spray it on the really bad areas it will take anything off.. Once again rinse real well Quote
frocashmoney24 Posted December 19, 2003 Report Posted December 19, 2003 i just spray down the greasy parts, put on some ez-green , then scrub with a brush and it comes off after you spray it again Quote
SICK BOY Posted December 20, 2003 Report Posted December 20, 2003 A company called Liquid Products makes a spray called atv wash/mud release.I,ve heard good shit about this and I'm going to get some on my next trip to the dealer. Quote
Justintoxicated Posted December 22, 2003 Report Posted December 22, 2003 Nitro Blast for RC cars is supposed to be paint-and finish safe (test first) But this shit works great! Very expensive though.... Quote
bizanchee Posted December 22, 2003 Report Posted December 22, 2003 Good old kerosene works wonders cleaning old crusted up grease and dirt off your frame and engine...just wear gloves, the smell wont leave your hands for a while if you dont Quote
banshee0044 Posted December 22, 2003 Report Posted December 22, 2003 dude no joke wd 40 works aweosme on everything..try that out Quote
ALLABOUTTHEBANSH Posted December 22, 2003 Report Posted December 22, 2003 for those with a healthy bank balance u can use a can of CRC Brakeclean and aslong as you dont get it on the rubber parts its a spray on and wash off..Cost a freakin fortune thou... Quote
Banshee crazy kid Posted December 22, 2003 Report Posted December 22, 2003 I use Simple Green, my dad is a machanic at dodge and his job uses it to clean car engines but they by it by the gallon,u can buy a spray bottle type in ur locol hardware stores. I think it's da bestr shit out there............If u wanna clean rims try using WD-40 it works awsome on rims espeacially(sp) getting tar off. Quote
