Default Alternative To Kal-Gard Degreaser?

At this time I unable to get Kal Gard products locally anymore.

My 3 favorite products are De greaser, 30/30 and Prep N Shine.

I wanted to know if anyone has any experience with other products such as these that you can get a moto shop or a local hardware store.

Recently I had to go back to the old method of Simple Green (cleaning) WD-40 (bearings) Orange Pledge (shine + dust repellent). It just is not the same and does not do half as good of a job.

Any suggestion for any one of the mentioned products.

Thanks

I came from the SC1 to Kalguard. The SC1 makes your car look all shiny, but seemed to be a dust magnet when you roll it out on dirt. Ill never go back to SC1. I think Im done with Kalgaurd to for the $

Why?

An air compressor gets all the water off..

and even if it didnt..there's really nothing on the car that will rust. (losi anyways)

Just re oil the bearings and be done

To replace prep n shine use Pledge. No foolin. It's the best stuff for a good shine. I use it on all my street and race bikes.
