Tips on cleaning engine block

One of that you pull the bike onto and you can roll the wheels to clean. Do not t hink the one I used for my Bonny will work..... Maybe the front :D
 
This may sound stupid but I use a small bucket of hot water, dawn dish soap and a 2" hard bristle paint brush...I start at the top...
 
Purple polish works .. they have a cleaner and then you follow with the polish .. you're just not trying hard enough maybe. Prick of a job that led to me having mine powder coated. There's a silver powder coat that looks way better than chrome if that's the look you are after.
 
No doubt TC! It did ok on the flat spots, but took hours for little sections. I don't have the time or energy for that, which is probably how they got so bad ;)
 
There is no easy way, drill with buffer, and a dremel with a buffer. I know there is an acid that truck drivers use on aluminum tanks, spray on wash off, but it eventually bleaches the aluminum, so not really an option.
