Hi - Sorry if this is in the wrong place, also tried searching for Muc-Off and got nothing. http://www.muc-off.com/motorcycle/
So has anyone used this is it any good, in particular the de-greaser, protective spray and cleaner. Is the protective Spray as good as ACF? If used do you have any tips. Cheers |

Think the opinions that this stuff is carp, I've tried it and its not very good
SDOC is recommended, as is another product which I can't remember the name of. ACF or Scott Oilers anti corrosion spray are the recommended ones on here Don't get ACF on any of your brake discs or pads

I use the muc off spray on cleaner and the miracle shine. Personally I think the spray on cleaner is ok - not great, but ok. The miracle shine is awesome.

I got a 5 litre bottle some years ago, and only have a little left.
It is a great cleaner (in my opinion) spray some on allow wheels (car) and leave a minute or so before cleaning with sponge. wheels come up great. Does a great job on rear wheel of bike with chain oil fling. I can recommend it SMcG in very wet Glasgow |

I recently bought a load of muc off products as my friend got me them at trade price but I must say I'm not that impressed with them.
I have a wash kit box and the brushes are pretty good, a 20 litre pump spray cleaner but that eats the stuff. Personally I like to just buy industrial de-greaser and dilute it into a spray bottle. |

SDOC 100 everytime. Isnt as harsh as the muck off, ie it wont streak titanium exhausts if left to dry. Cleans better too. We use it for all valeting jobs along with the ACF50 after.

May sound a little strange but I use make up wipes (we had loads of free boxes lying round in work). They work very nicely indeed, before that I just used WD40 & a cloth.

+1 for WD40 - cheap and works
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 |

I have used Muc Off on the MTB and the Motorbike, on the Mountain bike it is OK, but not great. Working on the SV, the Muc Off was utter rubbish. I have also used Hope **** shifter, which worked much better, but is bad for your hands.
Never found anything better than WD40 and a cloth though for cleaning wheels, frames and bits.

S-Doc100 is certainly good stuff but it's damned expensive. I've been using the MucOff for a while now and it works well as long as you wet the bike first (mist it with a hose or pressure wash) and then use a vehicle brush to agitate the stuff once you've applied it to the bike and left it for a few minutes. Shifts all the muck from my bike without any problem. You just need to be prepared to apply a little more effort than you would with the S-Doc100.
Finish off with FS365. |
