List is $7.00 / qt. Biodegradeable. I spray the whole bike, and rinse it off. I also use it as a pre cleaner for my gear. It was the only product I found that took the ground in dirt off of the white plastic. Should be available at most shops. PM me if you can't find it locally.

Moto Clean 900 and verious brushes to get to the tough spots. Bottle brushes work great for the hard to reach spots.

+1 on the presure washer (gotta be careful though!)

Simple Green is available a Walmart for about $10 bucks a gallon. You can use it just like Car soap, dilute how much you want. I also keep some full concentrate in a squirt bottle for tuff spots. It doesnt' leave a slippery film like car soaps though.

Also try coating the whole engine, carb, and anything metal (besides footpegs) in a fluid film. Like a thicker WD40, I use this stuff from Bel-Ray, think it's called 6in1. It will help from rusting while she's stored (live about a block from the ocean) and help keep the dirt from clinging. You can almost just wipe the whole bike clean later.

Hmmmmm not sure that is appropriate here. My brother in law is Mexican and so is my wife's new step mom. I'm just saying. Remember we have members from all walks of life here and from many diverse backgrounds. [sm=smiley20.gif]

If it don't come off with hose and water, it ain't coming off. At least on my bike.
