Hi,
Before returning from the repair company, my bike's been cleaned with this stuff. Blo0dy hell it's shiny, I know the fairing has been waxed, but the wheels, engine, brakes, swingarm are clean like the dogs danglies ![]() Anyone else using this, just thinking about buying some of this stuff for myself...

its fine for using on metal parts, but its does eat in to all the oil/ grease off so be sure to re oil your chain and if your like be spray wd40 over all the moving parts. also keep it off painted bits(ie tank) as with continued it eats in to paint and laquer, and you lose the shine. my mates car is evidence of that

we use tfr at work for degreasing stuff. I also use it to clean my car. As curvy says its good at shifting muck with a pressure washer but doesnt shine (thats the polish)

its great stuff. but try and get the low caustic or caustic free stuff its much kinder (wont eat paint). i seem to recall that you can get it with added wax like a wash'n'wax.

I'm convinced that Muc-Off is just an expensive way of selling a very basic TFR. We bought a huge drum of cheap TFR at my old work, and it smelled exactly the same and was the same colour and consistency as the Muc-Off I was using on my bike at the time.

Just be careful with bare Aluminium , it will dull it right out in minutes . I use Fenwicks bike cleaner , 1 ltr makes up 10 ltrs and is totally safe and cuts through grease , dirt and bugs in seconds and leaves nothing behind once rinsed . Is safe on brakes and Aluminium as well . Been using it for 7 years now on Mountain Bikes and Motor Bikes and swear by it . Muc-Off is the biggest rip off in cleaning history as far as I am concerned and not all that good either .

I bought muc-off in a 3 for 2 from halfrauds, think it was a tenner?
After half using the first it was so useless I poured it out and used the pretty good sprayer for a generic traffic film remover. I poured out another and filled with WD40. I still have 1 left, but it will also get used for the sprayer. Used to love gunk, it painted on clear but went white as you worked it in, and smelled awesome. |

To be fair, my mate never polishes his car and takes no care of the paintwork even though his spent over 2k on fresh paint in thhe last 3years. Although I can remember reading a few times on geeky vw forums, about how bad it is for the paint or laquer but if works for u then cool, I've just got bad reviews of it in my head
