to the point does anyone use this stuff http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Muc-Off-1-litre-bike-wash-/330619494914?pt=AU_Motorcycle_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4cfa752202#ht_499wt_920 if so how is it!!! or what do you use.

Ive used it before it does the job well but so does car wash for quarter of the price

That lil 1 litre bottle wont last long i brought the 5 litre container it lasted quite a while but cant justify the price

Just stick with some chemtech CT18 truck wash, that's all I had ever used until I started my business and now I buy 20L drums lol alot cheaper buying in bulk

 

[yzf250rider]

truck wash is the go, just put it in a spray bottle leave for an hour or so and hose it off, also if u spray your bike with tire shine before u go riding it makes it allot easier to clean in the end

 

[SwapperMX]

Yeah these guys are on it. That stuff is good, but just stick with the good ol' CT18 truckwash. Cant lose !!

 

[timeeh]

I run "shift it" I swear by the stuff.

heres a tip buy a can of inox before you go riding spray it on under guards and fenfers . go riding and **** wont stick and if it does it will easly hose off lol you can get like 20l for 60$

after many moons of riding dirtbikes I have found that some truck washes will take the sheen of plastics and graphics. so be careful that whatever you use isnt caustic.

I have found that plain water and 1800 PSI will just about shift anything. pressure washers are really cheap now. can get Karchers for about 150 bucks. and I will use just a normal car wash to assist with removing stains.

and dont forget a smelly tree for that "new car" smell.

Don't do it man I slipped straight of er m out the window , maybe to big a run up?

 

[Killpatrickyum]

Seriously but There used to be a kickaz pink truck wash bursons used to sell but I guess the tree huggers thought it was no good so I'm with the rest n use CT or RL 18 n super cheap tyre shine is my friend

 

[MENT4L]

Silicone tyre dressing works well, best stuff if motortech from Autobarn and it's cheap.. Pick some up when you grab some CT18

If your after a pressure washer the gerni are better value for money than the karcher, I have the base model 100.2 gerni that was $99 and it's outlasted the karcher for 12 months do far and still going strong!!

Nothing beats a Diesel powered hot wash though!! I have a Lavorwash HyperL that set me back a pretty penny but the best thing I have brought for the business and makes the job so much easier, just have to be careful washing the bikes because it wants to knock them over lol

 

[westy465]

yeh, pressure washers are an easy way to remove stickers too.

Lol how close are you holding it Westy !

I took the paint off my wheels with mine..... right b4 i peeled off the R/H front sticker, thought it'd be a good idea to just pressure wash the bike without any pre-wash b4 hand, probly won't do that again for a while OR the the pressure wand turned right up high.....

CT Truck wash degrades anodised bit's over time. It's not designed for bikes.

I use a product called Xtreme Clean for bikes. It's concentrated and makes up a ****eload.

I just can't find a link for it.....

 

[roost666]

I use simple green, Best stuff i have ever used.

hose & a brush... pressure cleaners kill bearings
