I gave it a quick wash with normal car soap crap, then covered it in oven cleaner, best de greaser going!
...,

One more thing...
Does oven cleaner not eat/damage chrome and alloy/aluminium.

And

When using the 80grit, does this need to get into nooks and crannies , deep into the fins, under cables and hooks where even tiny fingers cannot reach.. All those hard to get places?

Nope was fine on mine, just dont use super duper high strength, i used some epic expensive stuff on my forks it made them eww.


don't really need to get deep inside the fins tbh, just do what you can with a knife and brillo pad/wire brush, it wont really be seen, mine was a rushed job using no special tools and it looks great.
