How to remove Chain Grease?
What are the better products out there for removing chain grease from things like your rim or plastic parts??? Any guidelines to follow?
I was thinking of using Goo Gone but I know that can be bad if you leave it on something too long. |

FYI Goo Gone works great! Just have to make sure I get the goo gone off so it doesn't sit there and damage my baby.

what about tar remover?

Goo Gone gets nearly anything off any surface. It also contains xylene, a very nasty health hazard. I've had good results using citrus based degreasers.

I would use a citrus based cleaner myself, I have found plexas works pretty good on chain grease it is also real good on the frame and wheels

SPRAY A LITTLE WD 40 ON A CLEAN RAG AND WIPE IT OFF. WORKS WELL ON PLASTICS AND RIMS. USE THE WD 40 STRAIGHT ON THE CHAIN TO CLEAN IT . THEN WIPE IT WITH A RAG.

take the chain of and soak it in a bowl of petrol. (gasoline) since petrol is oil based it will not de-lubricate the chain and once removed from the bowl, the petrol will evaporate and you can regrease or oil. don't waste your money on expensive cleaners... you'll find it works a treat and it also removes tar if applied with a rag, wash off with ordinary washing up liquid.

Haynes manual says if you want to take the chain off to clean it then use something with a high flash point (not petrol) such as kerosene or paraffin. I've used paraffin on mine which worked OK but I've by far had the best results using WD-40 and an electric toothbrush of all things, with the chain still on the bike. |
