heavy duty grease
11/19/11 1:38 PM

My bike was recently fitted with a 300 series tire. After I rode it home (what an adjustment!), most of the grease that was on my chain was now on my rims, swingarm, undertail and everyone else that followed me. Whats the best way to clean this grease off of chrome? Thanks.

Probably use a degreaser foam on it and a high speed water sprayer. How much grit is in the grease and how much wipe do you run the percentage of making so many scuff marks on the chrome. Then, the fine lint free towels you can get for like less than a buck a towel, you use those, not a regular towel, not a paper towel. We want to use the LF's for chrome and paint. Shewowabunga! What a difference in one wipe with those 3 variables and the LF wins every time.

I use WD-40 and a micro fiber towel works great!

my rims are just semigloss silver OEM for my MSBlue 08. I don't botherwith a special cloth for those. WD cleans wheels off just don't get on your brakes rotors. I have used Black magic wheel cleaner. Work great. Strong stuff. rinse really well.

I hear Mother's makes some nice products for chrome. I don't imagine you need anything fancy to clean the goop off. Just to keep it nice and polished after. To be on the safe side, I'd go with a microfiber cloth. More for paint IMO. Chrome is pretty hard but why risk scuffing it up while you wash it? Ya careful not to fub on the sand and solid crap that sticks on that flawless surface.

Chain wax will fling less. I use grease in cold weather. Wax in warm.
