axle clean up!!

[400exMO]

My axle looks like crap. It has a bunch of chain lube residue all over it and I'm wondering how to clean it up. Is there any special chemicals that will strip it shiny again. p.s. it's stock.

You can kind of tell from this pic.

You can use WD-40, Simple Green, Brakleen, or Carb Cleaner to get all the built up gunk off of there :)

clean it with some degreaser of some kind, then do the polish as beaker said and it will stay cleaner for longer. BUT from your pic I would say thats about as good as a stocker axle is gonna look

If you clean it after every ride it won't get like that.
