Not very technical I know but was is the best product/process for clean oil and gunk off a rear shock and sprocket etc? Cheers.
Petrol and a paintbrush, then rinse well and clean with normal products. Castrol Greetec is great. Muc Off is very good. SDoc100 is OK.
Try brake and clutch cleaner. It's great for shifting greasy stuuf, and because it's under pressure it comes out of the can like a mini jet wash.

Depends on how dirty it is..... I use a combination of techniques but they normally involve a small squirt of WD on a bit of kitchen towel and wrapping it around the spring and twisting it along its length. Works for me but it doesnt get too dirty. Muck-off & toothbrush if its worse. JC
WD40 on chain and sprockets. Greentek or sDoc first, then some Meguiars car cleaner and wax. Ive always struggled to clean the flippin front wheel. Big hands/small space
Save yourself a fortune and buy a can of Mr Sheen. Does everything all the above can do, but leaves it shiny to boot.
