Hi

I'm struggling to find a product that removes stains from my bike casued by spillage after waxingf the chain.

Any products you can recommend?

Cheers
Will

 

Wot do you mean by stains, on the rear wheel /paintwork?
Anyway this works for both, do you guys have WD40? cos you do, you invented it. Try a generous amount on a rag for the rear wheel, soft cloth for the paintwork. It breaks down the wax into a liquid, and then just wipes off, don't get it on the tyre though. Actually I think the guy who invented that stuff (who ever he was) should be nominated for saint hood.

 

Oops, sorry assumed you where from the USof A, those guys invented WD40 (just found out it was a guy called Norm Larsen, interesting eh)

 

WD40 works well. Also Honda makes this degreaser stuff that comes in a black and silver can. It works like a charm too!

 

For my rims I just use non-chlorinated bike parts cleaner and a rag. Cleans the stuff right off. Wouldn't use it on the plastics, but the wheels don't seem to mind. I also agree with teh WD-40 or other lubricant. There are just enough solvents to help remove the gunk.

 

i've had good luck with Plexus. pretty expensive, but so far, it's been well worth it. i use it on rims, plastics, even my helmet visor (though i don't recommend you use the same rag for all 3 in that order). Plexus is a clear plastic cleaner that's safe to use on any clear plastic without having to worry about scratching. however, don't go and use a dirty rag or a paper towel and then tell me the Plexus scratched your paint :P ...and yes, it gets the wax stains off my lower fairing and rear wheel.
