Although I already posted concerning cleaners, like I said, a little kero in water is all you need. If you are attempting to get it off of your engine, then Gunk engine degreaser, which I believe has kero is the likely thing I would use on the engine, with a nylon brush. That's much cheaper than buying something that is, in the final analysis, going to age your bike's or car's finish prematurely - esp. if it must be left outside in the sun and rain. When doing a bike, I recommend doing the tires last to avoid leaving any residue of anything that can make the sidewalls slick too close to where the rubber meets the road in sharp, heavy-leaning turns.

The product in question is not really a "bike cleaner", it is just this kind of foam silicon that people use on the tires to make them look shiny (like if there were wet), and in other part like dashboard or so. I think to use a good degrease is the right way to go, but the STP by make all part to look shiny and clean. Please be extremely careful in using this products on the bike tires (I do not recommend it at all). Javier.
