[QUOTE="Albervin, post: 28716, member: 586"] I use a product similar to aerostart to remove fresh oil stains on the head ,barrels and cases. Either spray it onto the (cold) alloy and wipe off immediately or spray onto a cloth and wipe over. For baked on grime I use a non-caustic oven cleaner (Ethanolamine); spray on and leave for varying amounts of time then wash off with copious amounts of water. I also use 000-0 grade stainless steel wool with either of the above methods to get into the rougher castings. I also use the non-caustic cleaner for inside the alloy guards to remove oil/road grime. So far no visible adverse effects but as usual, test any product on a small area first before covering the whole machine in it. [/QUOTE]
