Cleaning Bike Crud off Driveway? - SV650.org

Hi

How can you clean patches of chain gunk, ACF-50 and chain cleaner etc off your driveway?

Soapy water and brush does nothing and I am being nagged!

Cheers

I have half a tin of Gunk driveway cleaner somewhere in the garage. Used the other half getting similar oily rubbish off my landlords driveway many years ago. Funny thing is the moron then complained that the rest of the drive looked grubby as a result of the clean patches. Use it neat with a scrubbing brush and Robert will be your father's brother.

Try a bit of brake or carb cleaner and some paper towel!!!

Don't use Gunk driveway cleaner if the driveway is asphalt. It will melt the tar.

Thanks for the tips.

I didn't have any off the stuff mentioned already, so went for the Gunk driveway cleaner from Halfords. Driveway is slabs so ok.

It wasn't an instant result, but after 2 goes it has now mostly gone.

Cheers guys
