Swarfega Jizer degreaser

[mr messy]

Tbh i prefer celly thinners. You know it will be clean, no need for rinsing and be dry in couple minutes. Kept in airtight container is reusable too!

Hi @downfader ,
I went for this as the price is excellent (http://www.screwfix.com/p/no-nonsense-heavy-duty-degreaser-5ltr/88668)
I have used other no- nonsense stuff from screwfix and never been dissapointed.
It doesn't contain TFT like Muc-off does, however, after using that I always rinsed well then used one of the TFT sprays anyway.

Thanks. Will see if I can get hold of a bottle of that later. :-)

Well, I eventually got to use the degreaser on the CX which was gunged up due to the extra lube required over the last month.
A small plastic tub, waterproof gloves and. Cheap 2" brush and off I went.
10 minutes to apply on the whole drivetrain, left for 10 minutes, hosed off then washed, it's worked a treat and at 1/10th of the cost of the proprietary cycle related degreasers.

My drivetrain gleams again... Until I get a few weeks into the commute again that is.

I is chuffed

Havent had the chance to get Jizer yet to try it. Also noticed Halfords sell their own Citrus Degreaser too (with good reviews) has all the same ingredients as another well known brand iirc.

Glad yours cleaned up so easy, Tony. Could have done with that this week. Went through puddles of diesel on Thursday, christ knows what was going on but the whole of Bellemoor Road was covered in it!. Completely gunked the chain up. Tried to give a quick clean when I got home but didnt have enough time until today. I had to use 3:1 dilution of FS1 to shift it (scrubbing with a toothbrush).

@downfader , I got the no nonsense stuff from Screwfix rather than Jizer

Turps, paraffin or white spirits. Wash the chain four times in a flat metal try with an old brush, pour the used cleaner into a jam jar and leave it to settle out for next time.

You can do fire breathing with the clean stuff too.

I bought some Muc-Off clone once, from Asda on clearance. It smelled like the Heavy Duty Degreaser we used to used at Maccy D's for cleaning the lard out from behind the grills - good stuff if you can get hold of it. And 3M do an citrus-based aerosol that smells lovely and will get anything off, including the skin off your bones if you're not careful.
