i use dishwashing soap. those in liquid form not those in powdered form. use that to wash my whole bike. Turtle wax for my coverset. Turtle wax chrome polish for chrome parts.

I was so amazed at how diesel can be used to clean bike chain so I used it to wash my rims also. My red rim previously covered with stains until become black so I used diesel to remove the stains.

spray some WD40, let it rest. then wipe off. or u can dip ur cloth in diesel and then wipe it away.

dark mode, or light mode?
