Thanks Moses, I thought that SG was alright as long as it is diluted properly and rinsed thoroughly. I have always used it on everything automotive w/ no problems, but cold water rinse and diluted. It certainly works well on greasy dirt.

My plan is to get most of the greasy dirt on the wheels and frame/motor off w/ steam, (no soap), and then a cold H2O wash w/ SG and quick rinse. FWIW, the anodised finish on the rims is already wacked, I am going to have to take some fine steel wool to them to sort of refinish them. This is a really low budget project. I'll post pics and results here when I do it.
