The stuff is specifically for bikes (of the motor kind). It's cut 1/1 with water, and sprayed on. The stuff works wonders. It handles dirt, oil, brake dust, you name it. You do have to help it along in the really cruddy areas (light brushing), but you spray it on a cold bike, let it sit for a while, and hose it off. Hasn't hurt anything...aluminum, plastic, leather, etc...and gives you really great results. One thing, though. If you've got a chain drive, you won't have ANY oil left on the chain, so act accordingly. If you are in the area, and need the address, let me know and I'll forward it to you (haven't got it right in front of me right now). BTW, the stuff is a bit expensive (~$5.95/qt), but being careful I can wash my bike four times per quart, so it's really not bad. Good luck.
