Dunno tbh...i saw it and thought the same thing.

Nearby you will see a big white plastic tub with a label Parasene - Superwarm Fuel. Its parrafin and a brill de-greaser. £5 for 5 litres.

Took all the manky old chain wax off in seconds i really was like this

Do a search as we were only posting about this the other day.

Just make sure rinse it well as its very slippy stuff.

cheers guys-

couldn't buy it as my wife had only given me a tenner to get 3 bags of compost !! and I am 2 days away from pocket money day !- blew all last weeks pocket money on the pub- the england game and a fiver bet on an 8-0 win for england---

so more NUMPTY than tightwad-!

I will go get some and give it a whirl..and if its good I will spend 50 quid on loads of it and stockpile it ..

NB- if u see my wife :
Huggers are a fiver
rear seat cowls cost 10 quid
a paddock stand is something that I really had to have
£300 helmets u can get for about 50 quid
my bike does 300 miles to a petrol tank full!!
a service is about £30
etc etc etc.................................

all for one and one for all !!!

Ah, the old Wife pounds conversion table.

1UKP = 0.25WP

Parascene is great stuff. Stubbon stuff get off with a green pot pat thing taht you find near the sink in the kitchen...thats where you collect your dinner from if you are lucky!
