It was Esso Blue
I of course replied
With lower grades one buys

Still available from garden centres and hardware shops. It's what I use as a degreaser because it's a damn sight cheaper than all the fancy Autoglym type stuff that doesn't shift anything.

I use Muc-off, which seems to be permamently on offer at Busters. Works great at removing brake pad dust as well as degreasing all the chain lube fling on the rear wheel. Much better than Gunk, that was evil stuff. Used to eat my driveway up...DAMHIKIJKOK!
