Works for me,  Do Not Use Power Washer.  Use a soft bristle brush by hand

I'll try anything once. Thanks

The power washer isn't going to remove oxidation and if you blow off a chunk of powder coating, you'll be tiring to fix that too.

Thanks. I'll stay away for the washer.

I know what they are talking about.

There has been at least one person on this forum that tried oven cleaner.
It cleaned the cylinders alright, right down to bare metal, cases too.

Shader is right. Never spray oven cleaner on your bike. I use it to strip powder coat off small parts. It is a very caustic solution.
