Pour gas some gas in then fire it up, blows it clean. Wd40 is best on the seats.

I think it would be fine but why would you want to do that? I mean there are hundreds of cleaners out there, hundreds!

WD40 works for almost everything

if your toolbox has the 40, some duct tape, and a hammer - you can fix ANYTHING

I agree WD40 is a safe and probably effective choice. That stuff cleans, lubricates and protects anything metal.

Best stuff I've ever used to clean/polish/protect any type of polished metal or chrome is this stuff that comes in a little tube called Semichrome. My dad uses it on his Harley and it is amazing. Pretty expensive though. Made in Germany!
