I think it's more that the HG stuff is cheap than the Muc Off is expensive

Considering how much time it's saved me, and how close to a perfect job it's done, I'd call it a bargain at twice the price... Won't stop me from getting the HG stuff next though

I have brought the kit and brushes are helpful when trying to get in to the fiddly places

I thought about it, but every other cleaning brush i've had for a bike has just clogged up or worn out in no time so I didn't bother in the end... Old paintbrushes are as good IMO, especially those really stiff ones that you can't use to paint with anymore

I've started using Machinary Mart parts wash fluid, which gets diluted 10:1 for normal use - £9.39 for a 5L container. A small jam jar with a 2:1 mix shifts pretty much any thick greasy nastiness when worked with a stiff paint brush. The 10:1 mix seems to be as effective as the Autoglym bike cleaner I had been using, and the empty spray bottles from the Autoglym product work very well with the new mix in them.
