Simple Green! Can't beat it in my opion, it's cheap by the gallon (you can dilute it like crazy) and it has taken off some skuff marks I couldn't believe.
Not sure if you were looking for some super secret stuff and everybody knows about this. But that's what I live buy.

I have a bunch of different scrub brushes I use and I just wash it with a sponge and regular car wash solution. For scuff marks and ground in leather marks I use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, takes that stuff off in one or 2 wipes.

What do the pro MXers use?
A pro mechanic!

Who uses a pressure washer after each practice & moto. They also have some little toilet broshes & cleaning solution, like simple grean, to really papmer them.

They also keep them from gettign dirty as much as possible. The cram foam everywhere & put tape on the hard hit areas like the engine skid, front of the frame etc. Then they just yank the tape & a good deal of mud comes off.
