Chemicals are indispensable for motorcycle maintenance, such as parts cleaners and chain lubes.
There is a price difference of more than 593.00 PHP for the same parts cleaner.
Let's verify how much can be achieved at this price difference.
Among the many parts cleaners available at Webike Japan, we have prepared three different chemicals in three different price ranges.

Ease of Use
Nowadays, it is commonplace in the parts cleaner industry to be able to use a spray can upside down.
In this context, the author believes that the ease of use of parts cleaners appears in the area around the spray button.
In some cases, parts that are intended to reduce costs may instead become unusable.
COSMO BEAUTY CHEMICALS
KURE
With this tip shape, there are cases where the tip parts are lost, making it difficult to use the sprayer and, in the worst case, rendering it unusable.
The search becomes even more difficult when a thin, transparent nozzle is lost.
WAKO'S
It is integrated in this way and can be switched without fear of loss.
This type is easy to use when letting the paper soak up the parts cleaner to clean it.
Cleaning Power - Tape Removal Version
We needed to remove the stickers from the stainless steel trays used for verification, so we will use tape removal and glue removal.
COSMO BEAUTY CHEMICALS
Spray the tape and wait for it to penetrate.
Be careful not to break the seal.
It peeled off nicely.
KURE
We were able to remove this one with no problems.
WACO'S
Oh My God!
Since the first sticker removal verification was done on the BC-9, this can be seen as a technical problem.
There was no problem with the cleaning power as it was able to wipe off the glue without leaving any residue.
Cleaning power - grease cleaning version
If it's a parts cleaner, it's an oil cleaner!
I would like to see how well the grease coated on the stainless steel tray can be cleaned by spraying the same amount of parts cleaner.
COSMO BEAUTY CHEMICALS
It is a soft grease counterpart, but it still remained.
KURE
I was able to remove more grease than Cosmo.
KURE has a strong spray momentum.
WAKO'S
Unparalleled cleaning power!
The spray is not too strong and does not blow off with light parts cleaning.
The final results are shown here.
The cleaning power of BC-9 is overwhelming.
Quick Drying (properties)
I will spray 3 bottles on a paper rag and place it in the sun.
BC-9, which should have been sprayed last, dried first.
Cosmo's top ran dry and took second place! Shortly after, KURE also dried up and all cans finished.
SUMMARY
As for cleaning power and quick-drying performance, WAKO's BC-9 showed its quintessential dignity.
KURE products are also second only to Wako's in cleaning performance, and the high-capacity aspect is attractive.
Although the Cosmo product has shown some performance disadvantages, it has become a popular parts cleaner with high capacity and the lowest price.
We will not be examining the rubber aggressiveness of parts cleaners at this time, as long-term verification is required.
