ez off?

Sitting here doing some scrubbing cus we are moving out of our apt into a dif one.

Any one tried ez off on their bikes?? This stuffs working great on the oven, pots, pans and the grill.

 

not me I stick with the cleaner made for bikes. . I don't plan on baking any part of my bike anytime soon

 

That stuff is pretty ruff. I don't think I would use it on any painted surface, however, if you have the engine out or a part of it you might give it a try there. Not sure how that stuff would effect aluminum, etc. Proceed at your own risk is the best I can tell ya.

 

Oh Im not planning on using it, bikes painted and I like my engines dirty.

I was just wondering, but was thinking not painted parts like engine, outside of break drum etc.

 

I think it will kill aluminum.

I used it to clean my baking pan in the toaster oven (it's intended purpose) and of course it worked great.
The crumb tray needed a cleaning, so I figured I'd spray that too while I was at it.
NOT a good idea!...my crumb tray is now an ugly rough dark grey.

Test it on a non-visable spot before you make an ugly engine.

 

You can use it to strip off the clear coat on the aluminum. You'll need to polish and seal withan aluminum sealer such as Zoops or any similar product. I would not get it close to and painted surfaces that you don't want stripped. Main engine case, frame, side covers ect. Be careful it likes to eat skin too. Wear gloves and safety goggles

 

ez-off takes anodizing off aluminum, pretty rough stuff

 

On the can it says not to use on aluminium. It will eat up aluminium. For fun take some aluminium foil and spray it with ez -off, ball it up loosely and watch the smoke rise from the ball. Now decide if you want to use it on your bike.

 

Do not use it on aluminum. It will definitely eat it. Oe at least mess it up real bad if it stys on to long.

 

I have heard of it being used to get melted plastic and rubber off exhaust pipes. No personal experience though.

 

Ranger, I know of one guy that got plastic on his exhaust pipe from his rain coat. I will let him know about ez-off. Did anybody tried to remove plastic from the exhaust pipes ? Would be good to know if it works. It sure is a mess.

 

EZ Off will etch aluminum, best leave it to clean stoves.
I also use it to clean paint off of plastic styrene models. Doesn't harm the plastic (clear is another matter) and leaves a nice surface to paint again.

 

We used to use it to clean overflow and windshield washer plastic containers on old cars '60-70's era. It eats all the yellowing off and leaves it a nice clean white. You need to wash it and scrub very well and get it all off.

 

Agreed .. do not use it on aluminum... on the pipes that may be a different story.

On my engine recently i used Fast Orange hand cleaner and a wheel scrub brush... i put the bike in the truck cold and took it to the car wash to do this. it looks fantastic now !!! and on the positive side smells like hot oranges just kidding actually it did take thet "old garage / bike" smell off of it though....

 

Holy baked on gravy batman! I wouldn't use that stuff on my oven let alone my bike!

You know what's in that stuff?

Butane

Monoethanolamine - alcohol and amine

Diethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether- mix ya up some brake fluid and starting fluid and tell me what happens...

Sodium Hydroxide- You know that scene in Fight Club where Brad Pitt explains what happens when you mix lye with melted animal grease? That's exactly what happens when you spray this stuff into your oven. Also the stuff that eats aluminum and causes flammable hydrogen gas.

Diethanolamine- makes it all foamy.

So to answer your question.. NO! Don't use it to clean your bike, or anything else for that matter.
