Default mr muscle.. pffft

WARNING: see post 14 below..

ok i know its not bike related but i just have to tell people.

i'm a lazy git yes its true, no seriously i am

so having read some reviews on fenwicks motorhome cleaner i thought i would give it a try on the bike. well it hasent got that far. got home with the stuff and for a laugh i attacked what can only be decribed as my nemisis which is the tiled splashback at the back of my hob in the kitchen. now i have tried every single thing on this but its always laughed in my face, brake cleaner, carb cleaner, wonder wheels, mr muscle, bleach, you name it i have tried it yes i have even resorted to petrol and all it has done is laugh at me. but today i have won the battle with fenwicks motorhome cleaner yes i have. it was that easy i was actually laughing while cleaning. i put 40ml of fenwicks in 500ml of water in a triger spray and went to work not expecting enything to happen, how wrong was i.

i have found out that it works on anything that is shiny like tiles, fridges and hobs but it wont work on cupbourd doors

give it a try i think you will be laughing like me

i could not have asked for a better birthday present. thank you fenwicks.

It's is truly amazing stuff. Anything like that designed for caravans is to be honest as they are designed to deal with the crud, grease, dirt etc. that build up on roofs and don't get washed off for years.

Glad you had a good clean, good fun doing it and most important of all...a good birthday

Gonna give this a try, because the tiled splashback is the one thing I can't get shiney shiney, plus the hood as well

when i say it works trust me it will. i fry a lot without a splatter thing and never wash the tiles as i have never found anything that works. the last attempt i was at it 4 hours i jest not and it was just the same so i don't do it and that's been 3 years with odd attempts with various nasty chemicals so you can imagine how bad it was.

armed with a sponge and a cloth it took half an hour and they are shiny shiny like new. spray on then leave for a cppl mins and wipe then stand back and laugh. it took a couple of times going over to get every single bit of crap off.

i found that rinsing the cloth in warm water with washy up liquid helped even more. for the tough parts i just turned the sponge around and wiped with the scourer.

i have been that impressed that i even phoned up fenwicks and thanked them for creating such a fantastic product.

BTW i think most caravan sales places sell it as that's where i got mine.

Are you getting commission for this?

Actually I might get Mr VT to get some for me, I too am engaging in a war with some grease which has definately been winning despite liberal applications of all aforementined products and some Cillit Bang too.
