I have a 88 XR250 with low hours. But it wasnt loved by the previous owner. Engine it is dirty and stained and I can't get it clean with any amount of aluminum wheel cleaner, Simple Green, and power-washing. Short of vapor blasting is there any cleaning chemicals I can use to make it look better? I removed the engine the frame to do a little more of a thorough job. I bought it to ride, not look at. I'm not anal but I don't walk around with food stains on my shirts either
Red scotch brite pads on a ball or wheel will get the seult you want...

A length of rope and polishing compound works good inside cooling fins.

Except for those motor mounts, they are just discolored badly. Help.

The best for me was to hand clean with greased lightning then soda blast outdoors. You cant get around hand scrubbing on old ass dirtbikes.
