Title: Re: WATS THE BEST MUD CLEANING PRODUCT Post by: Chuck_Norris on May 10, 2007, 09:38:09 PM Through the venture with my toy hauler project I have used several different things to achieve the goal Simple Green and 3m adhesive remover mostly. I have to tell you about a product I found this weekend that was absolutely amazing. IT is called Motsenbocker's Lift Off http://liftoffinc.com/products.htm
I went looking for more 3M adhesive remover and Home Depot no longers carries it or didn't have it at the time. So I gave this stuff a shot and I have been very impressed. It is no where asagressive as the 3M and worked very well at removing adhesive and grease.

Title: Re: WATS THE BEST MUD CLEANING PRODUCT Post by: SWAMP_DONKEY on July 15, 2007, 09:47:28 AM Mims is right pam works wonders before but Purple Stuff is AWESOME!!! 10 times better than simple bree we use purple stuff @ the shop for detailing and it works wonders.
Title: Re: WATS THE BEST MUD CLEANING PRODUCT Post by: ucfneed2ride on July 23, 2007, 02:57:39 PM You may also want to try Long Haul truck degreaser. I get it from NAPA autoparts. It works great!
I used to use Purple Stuff as well. Its a little cheaper than Long Haul and works well too. Title: Re: WATS THE BEST MUD CLEANING PRODUCT Post by: blindkaeta on July 23, 2007, 03:32:12 PM Suzuki Wash for bikes, not the atv wash. It works wonders.
Title: Re: WATS THE BEST MUD CLEANING PRODUCT Post by: CountryBoy on July 24, 2007, 06:50:37 PM Suzuki Wash for bikes, not the atv wash. It works wonders. Hes wright. Very good stuff, just costs alot. But i also use simple green and that seems to work good for me. :) Title: Re: WATS THE BEST MUD CLEANING PRODUCT Post by: 06 BaNsHeE on July 24, 2007, 06:59:15 PM What I do now:
Hose my bike down Spray the crap out of it with simple green Hose it down Spray it again with simple green Then hose down again Then spray wd-40 and scrub it Then hose down Then spray wd-40 all over the engine so it shines. Looks new but it takes me about 1-1 1/2 to clean it all Title: Re: WATS THE BEST MUD CLEANING PRODUCT Post by: snowmanzz13 on July 24, 2007, 07:39:02 PM well, to clean mud off i use water lol, i use a degreaser (not sure of which one at the moment) and a pressure washer, then when it's alll godd an dry i hit it with a good coat of wd40, supposedly lets mud "slip off" helps a little from what i've noticed, most mud comes off fairly quick with a hit of water
Title: Re: WATS THE BEST MUD CLEANING PRODUCT Post by: caospop on July 27, 2007, 01:21:42 PM do you just douse m 9sp 0 the thing in wd-40 and leave it or wash it off after you spray it. does the wd-40 come off with just water :dunno.gif :dunno.gif
Title: Re: WATS THE BEST MUD CLEANING PRODUCT Post by: 1slowfox on July 31, 2007, 10:17:29 PM formula 88 from dicount/advanced auto parts store.
It works wonders AND it WILL NOT tarnish aluminum parts. Title: Re: WATS THE BEST MUD CLEANING PRODUCT Post by: fastrnrik on August 09, 2007, 08:53:16 PM Mims is right pam works wonders before but Purple Stuff is AWESOME!!! 10 times better than simple bree we use purple stuff @ the shop for detailing and it works wonders. Purple stuff will streak aluminum. Title: Re: WATS THE BEST MUD CLEANING PRODUCT Post by: MPTonyT on August 09, 2007, 09:09:54 PM SIMPLE GREEN MAX (the biodegradable stuff in the black bottle) :bow.gif its the heat!!!!
Title: Re: WATS THE BEST MUD CLEANING PRODUCT Post by: MudPuppy on August 09, 2007, 09:33:55 PM My dad and I use Purple Power the stuff is amazing.
Just spray it on, let soak for 2 minutes then rinse it off with the hose. Title: Re: WATS THE BEST MUD CLEANING PRODUCT Post by: KB on August 11, 2007, 12:40:39 PM I use Grease Lightning in a lawn sprayer(it will dull aluminum) scrub & spray off, start engine to let it burn/dry off water,let cool, spray entire bike including plastics except brake pads & discs, w /seat off & plastic over grips with WD-40 or Silicone Spray.
Caos, the WD or Silicone justs leaves a thin film on everything & makes washing the next time easier & the bike looking new. Title: Re: WATS THE BEST MUD CLEANING PRODUCT Post by: Sixpack on August 11, 2007, 12:53:51 PM On white plastics I found that SNO-BOWL toilet cleaner works outstanding. Put it on with a sponge and let it sit for 10 minutes then spray off. Its also cheap $3.00 a bottle and it'll last along time. :ThumbsUp.gif

Title: Re: WATS THE BEST MUD CLEANING PRODUCT Post by: HASBEEN on September 13, 2007, 09:27:12 AM Ah, last but not least and (not as entertaining), a qt of "avoidance" goes a long long way in keeping your machine spiffy looking....... (LOL)
Title: Re: WATS THE BEST MUD CLEANING PRODUCT Post by: 94Hardbody4x4 on September 17, 2007, 02:27:34 PM I've always used Purple Power. That stuff very strong.
Spra down the atv with Spam orWD40 and most of the mud and dirt doesn't stick. At least it comes off easier. Title: Re: WATS THE BEST MUD CLEANING PRODUCT Post by: 94Hardbody4x4 on September 17, 2007, 02:34:43 PM I get that when I dont wash it all off. It's like dish soap, it takes 2 or 3 rinses to get it all off. Thats the only downside to it.
We used to have some green stuff awhile back but I don't recall the name. Title: Re: WATS THE BEST MUD CLEANING PRODUCT Post by: Chevy1500z71 on September 17, 2007, 03:02:10 PM simple green
Title: Re: WATS THE BEST MUD CLEANING PRODUCT Post by: KB on September 17, 2007, 03:47:57 PM I use Simple Green too, (someimes Grease Lightning)
Diluted a little, say 75% green, w/25% water. Buy it by the gal. then mix it in a lawn sprayer (kind that you pump up) beats using out of a spray bottle 'cause it'll wear your hand out after awhile. It dulls alum. a little bit if it stays on there for awhile, spraying motor & entire bike except brakes & seat w/ wd-40 or silicone spray will keep the bike lookin like it came from the showroom & will make it easier to clean next time you wash it. Title: Re: WATS THE BEST MUD CLEANING PRODUCT Post by: MOTOCROSS MAVERICK on September 17, 2007, 03:51:24 PM i use simple green max. it is biodegradable and non toxic. that way it doesn't hurt anything on my bike like etch the aluminum.
Title: Re: WATS THE BEST MUD CLEANING PRODUCT Post by: MOTOCROSS MAVERICK on September 17, 2007, 04:11:14 PM yeah where do you buy the MAX simple green. i can only find the regular stuff i get mine at advanced auto parts. Title: Re: WATS THE BEST MUD CLEANING PRODUCT Post by: MOTOCROSS MAVERICK on September 17, 2007, 04:16:49 PM that is the only place i have seen it. well i havent looked really just have been told it was at the one store so thats where i go.
Title: Re: WATS THE BEST MUD CLEANING PRODUCT Post by: KB on September 17, 2007, 04:30:40 PM i use simple green max. it is biodegradable and non toxic. that way it doesn't hurt anything on my bike like etch the aluminum. thanks, I didn't know it won't dull Aluminum, gonna get me some. |
