Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums General Tech Clean a Chain With Mineral Spirits?

SO FAR WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CLEANING.
We all use what works, and is close at hand.
WD-40, Dawn, Simple Green, Gas, Kerosene, Mineral Spirits and on and on.

The goal is to clean the chain,,,,,da.

My objective is to keep my area clean from spatter from the cleaning.

The cheapest I've seen is a pizza box with the cover cut out for the sprocket area and the bottom filled with some type of absorbent to grab the cleaning agent of your choice, that your drenching the chain with.

I use(once a year) a high dollar chain cleaner device "Kettenmax Premium", with 100% soy bean oil cleaner(high grade Simple Green, $10 per gallon). For me it takes 3 flushes of the soy bean stuff.
It takes about 6-10 ounces per flush till it comes out clear

Now the Lube of Choice,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Mine is "Liquid Performance Chain Lube".

Moly Fortified, bla bla bla. Lubes O-Rings, bla bla bla. No throw off, bla bla bla .

Through the year I use the same spray and cotton glove. Spray the glove and wipe the chain.

Next in line is the DuPont stuff

Have a nice day
