asides from the usual like gunk, whats the best you have found

mine is 'solent maintenence - industrial spray'

https://www.cromwell.co.uk/SOL7320100K

bit expensive but its fucking good.

comes out at quite high pressure and is able to remove thick grease/oil/road crap just by spraying. no elbow grease needed.

but goes quickly due to the high pressure.

just thought i would let you lot know about this good shit.
chris will back me up Thumbs Up

I quite like granville, or Jizer myself.
Apparently some of these natural Orange and fruit acid based products are supposed to be good as well?

For cleaning small areas of surfaces or metal parts, then carb or brake cleaner spray is good. For larger alloy castings or engine internals baked in carbon, then either bleach and hot water, or strong alloy wheel cleaner is best IMO.

For serious bad ass cleaning of metal parts and alloy, and as a final last resort id try patio and block paving or cement cleaner. This is likely to clean the parts if all else fails, but it could also eat alloy quickly and damage parts too.

Autoglym Motorcycle Cleaner works well for me Thumbs Up

Cuts through everything & is pretty good for a quick wash of oily hands too! Smile

jet spray is good if your prepared to protect parts against rust ASAP. i think the fruit/acid based ideas are good but require time to do their work. the stuff i mentioned literally removes the crap on impact.

ill to a before and after picture on some of my bits im cleaning.

i find a lil petrol and a toothbrush kinda handy...works out on most cases..just remember to put some oil after cleaning as the petrol will wipe out all the oiliness on any engine part

I generally use just paraffin and a brush but it can get messy.
