This is why I use "Krud Kutter"

[Ian400ex]

(probably should be in another section)

Alright, why am I posting this? No one really ever tends to prove why they use the cleaner they do, so I will.

Krud Kutter is advertised as a "Concentrated cleaner, Degreaser/Stain Remover." Also it is non-toxic and biodegradable.

After I spray it on (no scrubbing yet)

With scrubbing

Seriously, that took about 2 minutes. Also, if you get the chain hard with it, expect to lube it again.

Oh and here's my baby...

Yeah, you can use it one so many other things i.e. lime build up (tried it).

I like the looks of that, does it eat the finish off the metal tho?

Hasn't for me, and being biodegradable AND non-toxic it's definitely not acidic.

Edit: look at my swingarm pic when I am done, still has its finish.

thats my next purchase is a pressure washer!

Kärcher 1400PSI (http://www.karcherresidential.com/en/showproducts.php?op=view_prod&param1=296&param2=&param3=) (can be picked up at Wal-Mart right around 80-100$ if I remember right.)

So worth it, cleaning is so fast and effortless with it. 1400 PSI won't kill stickers in good condition either. :D

[ridein'red7]

Here's the thing, I have simple green and other cleaners but this stuff works so fast. As you can see in the picture it just removes stuff with much ease the moment it hits, and with the sprayer, application is easy.

IMO: Yes

And no problem guys, please post your results.

[Ian400ex]

Accidentally made this post, on my iPod. ;)

[erik420]

Looks like I works good. I just ran out of simple green last week. I'm going to pick up some of this stuff this weekend and try it out. Thanks for the heads up!

Ride red.

It just seems that this thread should have started with the words "Billy Mays here........."

[erik420]

Haha... from the makers of oxy clean...

[HondaRacing83]

for cleaning my axle i use Armorall wheel cleaner,it works just as well

[honda400ex2003]

have you tried it on the fenders yet to see if it takes the shine off of them? steve

[guenther]

Well the Home Depot 5 minutes from my home does not carry it :ermm:. Guess I'll check Lowe's the next time I drive by it.

That sucks!

To Steve
No, I have not tried; my plastics do not shine much anyways. I personally would not use this on plastics because my power washer does this well enough.

[nelzar13]

so i finally remembered to pick some up after about 6 months of "hey i should really get some of that stuff" !

Sweet, tell me how it goes.

[mattn03]

Looks like it works good!

[beags86]

[offroader]

Thanks for the tip on Krud Kutter. Does anyone know a good website or place to get new or inexpensive plastics for a 2009 Kawasaki Brute Force 750?

[nelzar13]

so as expected the crud cutter worked out great after a major mud run i did yesterday.. iv used it for a while to clean up azek trim on houses works great to get the oils from exotic woods off!

[MO-EX-RIDER]

after reading this, i grabbed a big jug at walmart for $10 so im going to give it a test on my axle and cylinder in a few minutes

[MO-EX-RIDER]

im not impressed, my bike stays clean with elbow grease and a simple green like cleaner, i expected this to remove mud stains on the cylinder and head pipe and it failed

[99400esex]

Im definitely buying a few bottles of this. Its hard to get a swing-arm that clean but that looks like a good quality product.

[woodsridn400]

Have to say this thread made me go out and get some today and im a believer! I have wax/;lube all down side of my swing arm from the chain and it looks like new now and didnt even have to scrub that hard. was like washing off dirt :) everyone should have some of this in the garage oh and i got mine at lowes
