Non cut Mr Clean thanks to Denny Stephensons dad back in the 90’s. Been using it ever since.

Shout for me too here. I’ve lived in Texas with red dirt, New England with dark soil and wet sand and now Kentucky with clay and haven’t met a soil type yet that shout won’t get rid of. People still ask me if all I do is detail my bikes and I try to explain it only takes me 10-15 minutes to wash my bikes. Wet the bike, shout it and rinse it off. Done

Natures Orange citrus spray From home Depot. Wet bike. Soak with Natures Orange. Wait 3 or 4 minutes Rinse... No scrubbing or brushing, you are just done. Even works when you let the dirt sit for weeks.

Before I sold my bike, I used simple green all the time. Ended up fading alot of parts and ruins anodizing after awhile.

I use Maxima Biowash, I use this on every type of bike I have, spray it on, use some brushes and it looks brand new every time. I swear by this stuff and can get it really cheap through WPS. Does not harm parts in any way.

ZEP Pressure Washer formula with the foam cannon on the bike. Works like magic.
Tried 30 Second Cleaner on my white boots yesterday, seemed to work pretty well. (Its basiclly bleach...)

Napa aluminum cleaner. Don't let it touch anything other than what you want clean. Wear gloves.

^ This. The aluminum brightener works really well, does an amazing job on radiators in particular.

S-100 is the best but pricey. Muc- off was a real disappointment.

It’s really hard to beat Shout when you consider the price and how well it works. I’ve tried tons of other stuff

Simple Green 20% mix.
Spray it on everywhere.
Fire up your pressure washer.
Bike cleans up nicely.

Also very handy at Tax time. Dip a qtip in mr clean and roll it over dates on receipts. Then write date needed in. Old truck driver trick to make time stamps on toll receipts disappear. It will leave a wet spot for a few minutes, when dry it looks like nothing was there.

I use shout, its cheap and available at any of the 6 dollar general stores within a mile of your house. The only other cleaning product I use is the Maxima chain cleaner but obviously I only use it on my chain.

The maxima chain cleaner is the best chain cleaner I've used. I tried the motorex stuff a couple days ago at work and wondered who would waste their money on that.

100000% Suzuki Wash
Best kept secret in cleaning. I’ve heard of guys who detail cars for a living buying the gallon jugs of this stuff and trying to find who makes it for Suzuki.

Technikem 50/50 is really good. Spay the entire bike let it sit 2 minutes and you will have an almost new bike! Not sure if it's available in the US but out here on the east coast Canada this product is really popular.

Zep citrus cleaner from Home Depot. Won’t harm plastics or paint. Been using it 20 years. Use it straight and never dilute it. The dollar store Totally Awsome citrus cleaner works well. But is very acidic and will hurt many surfaces. I use it for soaking parts and when restoring bikes. Very strong. It easily removes paint if you soak parts in it long enough and the paint isn’t epoxy.
For woods guys who end up with green stained bikes. Zep golf ball cleaner. Was called Lemonex. Never seen anything remove grass, weeds and tree stains so easily.

2 cups of the cheapest laundry detergent you can get in a 1 gal garden sprayer bottle. Spray the whole bike and let it sit for 5mins before using a pressure washer.

Works better than anything else I have ever tried.
