another vote for "gunk" (TM).

probably not a good idea to get it on your back brake, tyre or chain though. :)

Gunk for me every time, have tried several others over the years but Gunk is the best !!

Says me who has his in pieces (repairing not cleaning though). I wash mine when I can't see the headlights because of flies.

The guy had bought the bike from new, put 8000 Miles on it and not once cleaned it. Dread to think what his knob smells like. Poor girl. Scumbag.

Then why did you buy a bike in such a dirty condition if it offends your sensibilities ?:confused: :confused:

Muck Off is the best and wont damage the paint or chain.

Napalm in the morning!

Gunk can be quite agressive i've found but it certainly does the job. Smells nice as well. Things like muck off have been known to damage anodising if left on too long.

Parafine is probably the safest thing to use followed by a tiny bit of muck off to de-grease it.

Cause it was very cheap and I could see through the dirt.
