I have tried various cleaning products over the years, including what I use on the car (Autoglym Shampoo Conditioner) which is gentle, but doesn't really shift some of the thick clay mud that we get on the bikes:
No matter how many products I try, ultimately nothing seems to match Muc Off Nano Wash in terms of foaming action and getting grime off without destroying the paint and rubber seals. Only thing is WTF is it so expensive??
They must be taking the piss out of the bike industry as usual, as it's probably just some industrial detergent they tweak with some colouring and scent, then mark it up 1000%. Used to be able to get it for $16 per litre concentrated, at CRC. $40 in Australia now is a joke.
I have been looking at MX shops and this looks promising for about 1/6 the cost of Mucoff when diluted to the recommended ratio, and seems to have all the qualities we want except maybe the NANO PARTICLES??:
I just don't want to spend $50 and be stuck with 5 litres, to find it's no better than the various other washes I keep ditching to go back to MucOff.
