I considered starting a thread about this, but I'll chuck it in here & the smart people will find it.
For removing ancient grime of otherwise good paintwork, like fairing panels directly behind the front wheel etc, use a rung out damp rag, with plenty of Jif. It is truly the best grooming product I have discovered & any dried up product washes straight off when you clean the bike, just make sure that the rag is wet first.
For extremely difficult stains, paint, tar, glue, or any shit that won't otherwise move, damp the rag in turps & put Jif on said rag. If anything will move something without damage, that will.
Also, if in doubt, rub wd40 on any part of your motorcycle that needs attention apart from the brake discs. It's particularly good at reviving rough cast painted alloy wheels. The stuff is magic, even on paintwork & plastics, it's mainly Vaseline in a liquid form, I've become a huge fan of its results.
Handy andy works great getting the grime off wheels and casing apint it on neat and wash it off with water.
Pledge works well on leather seats and plastics and smells nice if you use the lemony one.
I have heard of people degreasing egine parts in the dishwasher as well. But i have never tried it.
We used to use jiff slightly watered down on plastic tanks XR etc as it gets the dirt out of the cuts.

Has there ever been a designer who cannot resist "improving" a previous work (especially if the original was by someone else)
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.

Think about almond milk, or fake boobs, said local resident Carl Krookstrand. The Dirty South is kind of like fake boobs squirting almond milk, which is pretty awesome if you ask me.

Yep, but if you use a wet rag, you can't harm a thing.
I've use it on a rupees electric buff to shine up dull body panels on cars.
Plenty of Jif & absolutely critical to use a wet rag or polishing wheel.
Cool thing is that the worst thing that happens is you get very clean hands.
It's win win.
