Car Wash and if you ride naked you get a shower and scrub aswell.

Clever..........Isn't It!

Muc Off.



Crap on the real gack like chain lube and stuff though. Paraffin, petrol or WD40 for that.

Another vote for Muc Off here.

Not that I actually bother cleaning my bike much, but when I'm in the mood to clean half of each wheel and a bit of the plastic, Muc Off helps shift the road cack off the wheels.

I bought the Muc Off cleaning kit, that has the brushes in with it. Spray the stuff on, and even with my half-hearted brushing, the dirt still falls off in no time.

If you just leave it, eventually some new muck will come along and knock the old muck off.
