quixoft Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 (edited) Anyone ever use Simple Green Bike Cleaner & Degreaser? I'm a huge fan of the regular Simple Green product for cleaning gunk around the house and I'm thinking of giving the Bike version a shot. They say the following: Simple Green Bike Cleaner & Degreaser is a non-corrosive formula that cuts through caked-on mud, dirt, grease, grime, and other road and trail soils. It's safe for use on all bike parts including metal, rubber, carbon fiber, plastic, painted surfaces, chains and derailleurs. https://simplegreen.com/news-and-media/common-bike-cleaning-mistakes/ Edited May 15, 2020 by quixoft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonioGG Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I use regular simple green diluted in water for general wash. Zep orange degreaser full strength for the drivetrain. Either while washing, or when I remove it and put it in my ultrasonic cleaner (I highly recommend this toy). I follow with Pedro's spray that makes it shiny and slick. I forget what it's called.

I used regular SG on my sport bike a while back but so many people have said it hastens aluminum corrosion(my swingarm, wheels, rearsets, etc) so I stopped using it. I never noticed any issues after using it for about a year but I'm also a nazi about thoroughly rinsing. It's my baby though so I stopped using it.

Yosmithy Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 (edited) I've used SG for years oh, and I have another household product that I've used on street MC, Road Race MC, dirtbikes, MTB, leathers, etc. for decades But that's a secret Edited May 16, 2020 by Yosmithy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I use car wash soap that DOESN'T have wax in it. I use regular Simple green to clean all the really nasty stuff like drivetrain, wheels and tires along with pedals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
