I like Gunk SC. The stuff you mix with kerosene. The Gunk makes it water soluble, so it rinses off after you use it. Probably not environmentally friendly, I haven't used it in a few years. It does last a long time, and its relatively inexpensive. It isn't anywhere near as hard on paint rubber and aluminum as the purple power. I do use the heck out of that too though. Purple Power and Castrol purple cleaner are amazing on concrete, and greasy clothing as well as greasy grime.

i have used Gunk SC mostly on sand cast British motors that are cast with alloys that stand up pretty well to environmental exposure. Die cast alloys tend to stand up less well to the environment, and usually are clear coated. I'm not certain how Gunk SC would work on that, but its mostly kerosene after you mix it, and I doubt that kerosene, which is a thin paraffin, is very hard on the clear coat. I think the clear coat fails over time anyway. I bought a nearly no mileage 1980 GS850G with perfect clear coat. Now it has 11000 miles, and the clear coat is failing like every other old GS just about. It has never had any degreaser on it to my knowlege, as it has never leaked. I think age was the major culprit, not products.

You can cut it to appropriate strength. I never use it on clear coat- my carbs lost clear long ago.

The Gunk Degreaser I used was in the spray can.

Gunk Engine Bright works much better than Simple Green, and is much safer and easier on paint and aluminum than Purple Power (which is uber harsh). The citrus version Gunk smell better than the regular stuff, which has a strong petrochemical odor. Gunk cuts grease, but isn't overly harsh on paint. Simple Green works okay on minor grease, but if your engine has caked on black grime, Gunk works way better to cut though.

I prefer god old kerosense and a catch pan
rinse
repeat slather it on eith a bristle paint Brush

cheap and easy

must rinse with hot soap water as sulfur in kero will react and cause staining of brightwork.
