After many times trying to find a way to get rid of the old grease grime minor surface rust from my bike components the easiest and least effort possible.
Most of the parts i buy are from car boots etc and are caked in the above .
All's need to do is to get a bucket empty 2 cans of Pepsi or coke your choice one scoup of washing powder sqwert of washing up liquid and fill about half way up with hot water give it a whisk and cover with a towel blanket etc leave till morning or about 8 hours or so .
Then fish your parts out and dry off with a towel and u will find when u fish the parts out the grime has either disappeared or can be just wiped off and with a bit of rubbing most lite surface rust will rub off .
your can also leave rubber parts in over nite but not too long .seat posts fork legs chains etc
I put my whole group set in for my klein pulse and it even cleaned up the plastic on the rear mech as well and did not take the decal off.
It will not shift bad rust but will make cleaning the crap off easier.
If anyone else has got somthing that they use please share as this has always worked for me
