What do you guys with the green belly pans use to clean that exhaust off with. Besides the stuff Cat sells. I'm looking for an alternative. Could you use Carb cleaner?

Use Fast Orange hand cleaner and a stiff scrubbing brush. Just wash it off with water. Castrol Super Clean in the purple also does an excellant job . Have used both with great success. *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

I use engine degreaser or carb cleaner. Just spray on and wipe off and doesnt hurt the plastic.

Have tried everything. *finally bought Artic Cat Cat Cleaner. *Spray on and wipe off works the best so far. *Costly though 10 bucks for a 10 or 12 oz bottle.

I use a product called Tumbler. You can pick it up at a few different automotive refinishing shops.(it is actually for stripping wax and debris from paint) * You just wipe on and wipe off, no scrubbing, have been using it for a little over a year and there is no difference is discoloration of the belly pan, seat, handlebar pad cover, or anything else. It is the best product I have found yet.
its a very good parts cleaner too(kinda expensive to wash parts with though)

I use Amsoil (http://oil.tourge.net) Power Foam. Spray on wipe off and then spray the rest off with a hose.
