Muc-Off - any good?

I've got the miracle shine and it's good but super resin polish is better.

I just blather any metal bits in it, leave it a few minutes, then wash off before using normal car shampoo to finish. Brings off most grime pretty easily

Paraffin is a much cheaper alternative to WD40.

I haven't tried sdoc100, but have just ordered some.

They are both polishes so I wouldnt use them too often, they are very slightly abrasive. I have the SRP and it is brilliant but my regular lotion is turtle wax nanotech wax, apparantly it's a hard wax and lasts months but it gets regular coats of the stuff, probably why I think Muc-Off bike spray is brilliant because most of the crap just runs off, any that doesn't is easily persuaded with a soft sponge and more muc off.

I don't see why ppl think muc-off is so bad, i've used it on all my bikes and get great results all the time, the chain cleaner and chain lube are brilliant. Infact i have just been out today and bought more muc-off products.

I tried Muc Off due to a Sales person telling me it was good. I started by cleaning the swing arm and rear wheel. I had recently used Werth chain oil, which is quite sticky and it had splattered on the wheel rim and when it came to washing it off, Muc Off did nothing. I gave it a good go, but it just could not cut through the mess in the same way that the Hope Cleaner did, what it did do was smear the black oily mess around the wheel rim.

I also used Muc Off chain lube last winter and found it thin and useless. It was probably great for the MTB but was less than great on the SV. The only thing from the set that I still use and like is the Helmet Visor cleaner. It cleans up the visor beautifully, so not every thing Muc Off is poor.

I also used Muc Off Teflon oil on the MTB and found it equally good to my favorite Syncros wet lube, however it was considerably more expensive.

fenwicks motorhome cleaner. once diluted it makes same as 10ltr of muk-off for £8 (spot dilution) and its better. the bobby dazzler also works rather well and does what it says on the tin. for normal washing i just add a cppl caps of the motorhome cleaner to the bucket.

i have washed the bike a few times now with the above combo and each time it's gotten easier and the mud and muck just run off now.

its also a great cleaner to use around the house

I got the 2 for £10 deal at hg on the muc off cleaner, cant fault it, sprayed the whole of my bike in it then washed off using car shampoo as well, eat through all the sprayed off dry lube on my wheel and made my bike shine quite nicely, used to use castrol greentec cleaner as well which was good

What do you use for getting tar bits of bike metal? eg. exhaust

On the exhaust, bug&tar remover or autosol.

Paraffin is a £1 a litre, Muc-Off is £7 quid a litre. WD40 leaves a shine. It's all you need.
