oxidized

does anyone know of a good cleaning product for removing oxidization, bye spraying on and rinsing off? my bike has sit for 5 years and has slight oxidation on it. i am trying to get it clean to paint it black.
(cylinder head, cam covers etc...)

Sorry, but I've yet to see/hear of a product that removes oxidation that easily.

Everyone has their own fav product and methods that they use and swear by, which accompanied with some good 'ol fashioned elbow grease usually gets the desired results.

Steel wool is great. I did the cases, jugs, and a little work on the head with it. . It does take off the original finish though. Lots of elbow grease.

Here's a pic

I heard these guys make awesome product for clean up as well. The S100 stuff.

DANG man, can you come over and do some work on my engine? That's EXACTLY the finish I'm looking for on my bikes (78 KZ750 twin, 82 Yam XJ650)

Steel, your going to have to show me how to post text links properly instead of me just cutting and pasting. It would probably make your job a whole lot easier.

Thanks
