degreasing the engine

[eg78]

What's a good product for washing all that built-up grease off ones engine compartment without harming any chrome or hoses, etc...

Simple Green works good.

That orange citrus cleaner works as well.

Anything citrus based will cut grime.

Simple green followed by vodka and orange juice.

A product called "Oil Eater" works well also. Bio-degradable and I got it at Costco.

I use S100 spray foam cycle cleaner....spray on the foam, let it sit about 15 seconds, and rinse....grime gone and it is formulated to be easy on painted parts, aluminum, etc. Best stuff I have ever used. It is available on Amazon.com

No scrubbing? Even the gunky grease buildup ?

Nope, you just wait until the foaming action is gone, then rinse with the hose with a fairly but discretely applied amount of water pressure and the gunk comes away. If your ride is really grimy, repeat the steps a time or two more. S100 products are huge selling apps for m/c cleaning and care and reliable.

+1 for S100. I get it from local Harley dealer.

[hlknvlcn60]

S100 is the stuff.

S100 rocks. It even gets the tar and asphalt off the bottom side.
