Purple Power
Sunday, October 3rd, 2010
I’m not a cleanaholic but I do like to keep my bikes looking good. After every trail ride I go to the car wash with my bike, spray-on chemicals, and a scrub brush. For the last few years I’ve used STP cleaner and degreaser but it has been discontinued, so I bought a spray bottle of Purple Power at the local automotive parts store. What a big disappointment. It does a very poor job of removing trail grime and leaves a difficult to remove scum film plus it stains and streaks aluminum parts like the muffler and swingarm. The streaks and stains are permanent and will destroy the sheen that your pride and joy may have had before. This is the worst motorcycle/automotive cleaning product that I have ever used. I will be contacting Purple Power about these issues.
