Hi All,
I'm tidying up an old Honda CB 'Two Fifty' and whist at the Kit Car show today i nearly bought some cleaning fluid for such things that apparently was mostly phosphoric acid (if I remember correctly)? It's mainly for around the cylinder barrel fins, the outer casings / rocker cover were lacquered (much is now missing) but I can take them off and clean them up on the bench ok.
This chemical solution seemed quite expensive so I didn't bother and guessed there may be some other 'fluid' out there that may well be designed for a different role that could work equally well but without the cost?
Ideally it might also be a bit more gentle .. less likely to damage paintwork etc (I'd rather it took longer or a few applications than did damage elsewhere) and available cheaply and easily?
Like using cola to remove oil from yer concrete drive sorta thing?
All the best ..
