Engine painting and a whine-reccomendations

[Fazer99]

It's WD40, Engine Brightener, etc, that causes major problems when trying to spray the engine.
Great whilst using the bike, especially through winter, but getting it off to do a paint job is a bloody nightmare, as explained in my link above.

I know that issue all too well as I used to be a panel beater paint sprayer, it's because of the silicone additives in it, that's why we would de-grease with this lovely stuff that I can't remember the name of as I think you could only get it if you were in that trade (some legal mumbo jumbo why man on the street couldn't buy it) but like you say it's great while using the bike and while storing over winter and I'd rather use it than not as I ride in all weathers.
