Good evening folks,

Gave my B2620 a good hard workout today and tomorrow it's time for a good cleaning. As one can imagine load loader arm is covered in black soot and I was wondering what the best product is for removing the soot. I know Bleche Wite works but it also fades the paint pretty bad.

Any ideas?

'Thanks...Burgie

Try Simple Green. Its an awesome cleaner.
There was a product i used to clean belly of aircraft, was called Powerbrite. That stuff worked awesome!

Haven't had much luck with the purple power from o'reilys on exhaust soot. I'll usually soak it down with simple green, then hit it with a car wash brush and pressure washer. :)

I did this to my B2650 to permanently take care of that problem. Cost like $6.00 to have short piece of pipe bent. It has been on for several months and has worked great. Routes exhaust out to side and under loader arm.

I've used Pinesol to remove both diesel soot and 2 stroke snot from paint and plastic. Use full strength and rinse. Won't fade paint or remove the gloss.
