Products to remove exhaust soot??

[Burgie]

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

Rubbing alcohol may work. I use imperial creosote remover to clean the glass on my wood stove door and some old fireplace brick. Don't know about paint resilience though.

Purple Power With a brush, rinse off well, then use WD40 to finish it off. Oh, and some elbow grease!! Looks great!!

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.

Car wash detergent and wash always works for me. Put a coat of car wax on it to make it easier for the next time.

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.
