Aye its fine, its all i ever use

Just bought a 50gbp kit of it. Hope it is good.

Just what i wanted to hear.

is it possable to water it down a bit to make it go further?

 

[ianrauk]

Yes there is a cheaper alternative.
It's called washing up liquid, water and a bit of elbow grease.

And if the bike is not too mucky then Babywipes.

 

[justin33]

washing up liquid?

never tried that but will give it a go.

 

[stumpy66]

I wouldnt use washing up liquid it has a high concentration of salt in it, so ur lovely bike wont stay shiny for long

i see,my bike has a lovely podwer coated finish and want to keep it that way lol

Nonsense.
Not too much of it and wipe down well after and it won't effect the bike finish at all.

Of course to make it even shinier, Mr Sheen is recommended after the wash.

Baby wipes or car shampoo, thats all id use

I usually dilute it 50% to make it last longer but I have used neat if the bike has been really dirty and ive been using it for years on all my bikes which include a Colnago Master Xlite and a Colnago CT1 which is a mix of carbon fibre and titanium and both still look like new and no paint faded.

Hope this helps

+ 1 +1 I do both regulary ... no ill effects so far.

Poundland have their own alternative to Muc-off spray. It seems just as effective.
