So it's about time I cleaned my bike - first time in 65,000km.
There is a pretty significant buildup of grease and grime around the rear rim, chain guard and more. On previous bikes and many years ago, I used to use kerosene to get my white rims all nice and clean, but now knowing that it is not the best thing to go down into the sewers, I'd like to use something less toxic. Same goes for engine de-greasers.
I would be doing this on my driveway, so I don't want something that will also stain or eat away at my asphalt.
I would like to use something that would be safe to run down my driveway and into the sewer system? Dishwashing liquid? Rubbing alcohol for the grease?
