Best crud cutter/degreaser for 2t bikes

[GMK999]

So with a handful of 2Ts in the stable ,Keeping them clean has become a chore. Mostly the YZ. When it's not having a good day the spooge is everywhere and for all kinds of reasons.
Getting it spiffy clean to work on takes longer than doing the work.
I have a small electric 1800psi pressure washer and a foam cannon that does fine on the dirt . But the oil is another problem.
I have tried a few of the Chemical Guys products, Dishsoap, car wash soap, tar/bug remover..
Short of a can of spray degreaser or brake cleaner and a toothbrush.. noting does it for me.

What do you all use??
Thanks IA

I use it on everything. It is amazingly competent, and easy on the paint. I buy it by the gallon.

I even stick that in my ultrasound cleaner for bicycle parts... Works very well indeed!

I use a product called Simple Green Max and it's works pretty well for a non toxic option.

+1 on simple green, the original is made with sassafras oil IIRC. Used to clean gear oil off workbench and I like the smell.

The only caveat with Simple Green is that it can remove anodizing and fade paint if not rinsed off while still wet.

A friend of mine found out the hard way while cleaning the wheels on a GS and letting the stuff dry out too much... The FAA bans that stuff from being inside hangers and around aircraft IIRC....

Valve cover gasket on the Super Sherpa has been leaking for a year now. Time to replace it and check the valves. Formula 88 did a nice job of cleaning oil and gravel road dust off.
