Muck Off (or Hein Gerickes equivalent) is good for general cleaning up. For the chain and sprockets I use parasene (parafin) from Homebase. Brush on and watch the goop fall off the chain. Let this dry for 10 minutes (evaporate off) and then lube with your favourite lube. I use Wurth Dry Wax. You may want to invest in a Scottoiler and then you won't have to go through all of this cleaning / maintenance rigmorole.

yes...parrafin mixed with a little washing up liquid makes a great de-greaser.just dont get the mixture on your tyres as this makes for some very slippery handling

Yeah you'd just get fed up with cleaning the oil from every other part of the left hand side of the bike

the muc off stuff really good. ive got a scottoiler and after a while the back wheel gets the oil from it and its really sticky, muc off does the trick, you just spray it on and leave it to soak for a while,then just rinse it off with no hard work involved

dont forgetdifferent size stiff detailing brushes to reach all those hard to get to nooks and crannies

I wouldn't use washing up liquid on your bike. It is full of salt.

yes it is full of salt but if you wash it off quick enough there aint no probs
ive been using it for years

am i the only one who thinks muc off is highly overrated ?

its a basic shampoo, no more.
gunk engine cleaner is my degreaser of choice at the moment.

parafin for the hardcore stuff (like chain)

For chain lube splats I use celliouse paint thinners!!!!
