Degreaser cleaner
chipenter:
A clock repair book recomended Amonia and washing powder mixed with hot water , it worked but after rincing the steel parts rusted almost instantly .
hermetic:
well chaps I think I am going to try out the washing powder in some hot water, as my hot wash has a nice stove enamel chassis with a build in diesel tank, which contained about a gallon of diesel, and a gallon of water, for about 20 years, got it fairly clean with a cold pressure washer, but still a lot of greasy crap in there when I peered in with the bore scope! It's a ground up rebuild so I don't want to skimp. I have saved the diesel ;-)
smiffy:
For small parts use a old dishwasher and dishwasher tablets . Just don;t get caught using the domestic one :bugeye:
mfletch:
RTF road traffic cleaner, undiluted but wear gloves none use on painted surfaces
Jonny:
Depends what it is.
If its assembled parts and cat be arsed to take apart, brake cleaner or carb cleaner.
Removable machined aluminium items soap and water then washed off and dried.
Cant get trike any more.
The washing powder works well on steels with decades of grime, hardened oil and the like. We used to boil actions and locks in a saucepan, comes out shiny no pitting on non replaceable items or face £13k making to the in the white stage.
Almost out of engine cleaner and don't fancy replacing now at around £18/gallon.
Used to use Muck Off get it cheap but was shown a couple of years ago by nipper just how good that Elbow Grease works. Don't bother with the fancy aluminium wheel cleaners, spray Elbow Grease on leave for a few minutes, brush over then rinse off. First time tried it removed 8 years of brake dust embedded no other cleaners or muscle removed. So sent nipper out and bought a box.
