I got home from work and went out and tackled my batwing again. Had enough oil and grease on it that it could have been a KFC franchise.Keep in mind that I have washed and pressure washed this thing on 2 other days. This am before work I used a can of engine degreaser and sprayed the remaining heavy parts.. which was pretty much pin and bushing couplings. When i got home, i pressure washed using simple green. Then i sprayed it down with purple stuff and while that set I mixed up a bucket of plain old soap and water, and got the long scrub brush out and hit the entire machine.. To my dismay.. a few slicks still survived. Another pressure wash with attention tot he proplem areas, and used simple green as a aid... then another scrub brushing with a little simple green in the water. This finally did it... no sheens.. no slicks... It dried to a nice non oily faded paint... probably hasn't been like that in 5 years. After it was clean I say a few hinge 'stops' that were beat up as well as a front brush guard bracket that was nearly broke so i burnt a few rods to correct those problems. Now all I need is a dry day, and an afternoon off to hit it with some rust control primer. ( i'm so tired of washing and scrubbing... this was easilly the dirtiest piece of equipment I've ever worked on... ) Soundguy
