Peder_y2k Posted May 7, 2013 Share #1 Posted May 7, 2013 My bike frame has lots of just plain dirt film (wet road sourced) that won't simply hose off. Is there a spray and flush cleaner that works without using a brush or cloth to break the bond between the dirt and surface it sits on? I don't want to use a pressure washer with hot water and surfactant as that can easily damage the electrics. -Pete, in Tacoma WA USA '83,88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use nonpressured water to rinse afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friesman Posted May 7, 2013 Share #3 Posted May 7, 2013 I have used SImple Green for years, get the bike wet spray on the Simple Green let it sit for a couple of minutes and hose off. Its non toxic to kids or pets, and removes grease very well. It hasn't ever caused any issues with paint or chrome over the years and the label says its safe for paint.

dfitzbiz Posted May 7, 2013 Share #4 Posted May 7, 2013 I use this product and found it to be very good. Spray it on, garden hose it off. Not perfect but pretty good. http://www.bikebrite.com/ I buy it by the gallon and use my own spray bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
