Im gonna get the front crossmember cleaned up in my 70, so i can paint the frame and so forth. there is lots of build up on it, looks like i will start with a puddy knife

but after the "bulk" is removed, what product do you guys use to get it clean?

Oven cleaner works wonders. Spray it on let it sit overnight and wash off. I have found the cheap yellow can oven cleaner from Dollar General works the best.

Simple Green is environmentally safe and does a pretty good job; don't dillute (sp?) it.

Big fan of Super Clean my self and also like Simple Green. Just dont get Super Clean on any oxidized paint, like a hood or fender, or it will stain it and the ony way to fix it is to wax.

Easy off oven cleaner hands down. While some here say the generic oven cleaner worked just as well for them it did not work as well for me.

I tried oven cleaner as well, I was amazed at how well it worked!

"Marine Clean" made by the cats at POR-15. It's biodegradeable, and also won't destroy paint... good stuff... spray on, and hose off...

Don't get any oven cleaner on your body paint ether.. As per simple green i would not ber afraid to get it on the firewall or fenderwells, as many times as i have sprayed it on my dirtbike full strength and let it sit for 30 minutes it has not fazed the frame paint.
