Just like they don't make their own oil, coolant, etc. It must be the reincarnation of our dear old favorite.... "GUNK." Sprayed many a can of this stuff into engine bays back in the day!

Ride365 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Simple green spray for me, just around the engine and wheels though, otherwise I still like doing it old school by hand everywhere else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceramic coating? Rob Oh, I use several depending on the substrate, time I have available, degree of cleanliness to be addressed, temperature, etc. I'm careful with ACF50 especially on exhausts and engines, I like several Wizards products, ProtectAll, Honda Spray Cleaner & Polish, etc. Price and availability factor in as well.

Sprayed many a can of this stuff into engine bays back in the day! Still using GUNK on my 2015. Works like a charm, doesn't hurt the finish and cleans the chain lube off the rear rim nicely. I make sure none gets on the brake pads or rotor or chain. Use kerosene and chain scrubber while the GUNK works in then I'm old school with DAWN dish soap and a sponge. Used to clean my bike while on trips each evening I was so anal. Now it's clean when I leave and I clean it good after a trip. As texscottyd knows living in Texas or Louisiana we get a good coating of bugs almost every time you ride. I wet the front of the bike a couple of times and let it sit for a few minutes each time to get the bugs soft. I'm down south so we wash or vehicles in the shade also. Have to dry everything after washing with well water. Lots of minerals to make white spots. Still looks good at 6 years old and 16,000+ miles. Oh yeah, I bought it 40 months ago with only 2,348 miles as I remember. I ride about 5,000 miles a year on it. Edited March 20, 2021 by tktplz Ain't no fun when the rabbit gets the gun!

This usually But I have used this when it's on sale at Advance Auto for less than the original. Both are just fine on the finish. I spray the engine under the front sprocket to clean the chain lube that runs down the lower engine. It works great and leave residue or any discoloration of the plastic or metal painted with the flat look. I also use Turtle Wax ICE on all the surfaces of the bike. Works well on flat and rubber, etc. Makes my rubber surrounds of my 1999 Toyota Tacoma rubber bumpers look like new and the flat black factory fender extenders look like new also. No white left on it like regular wax. A little expensive but comes off easy and doesn't make a mess or white powder. Edited March 20, 2021 by tktplz 1 Ain't no fun when the rabbit gets the gun!

hammer Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Washed the bike today with car wash soap. Went for a ride, hosed it down, and went to town. Rinse then a towel dry and it's all good. Ran the engine for about 5-10 mins and put her away.... 1 Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll straight up dissolve some types of asphalt. I did a substantial amount of damage to my old driveway cleaning my XJ750's old grungy engine with this.
