Squirrel...Even here with our arrid climate it is amazing how dust and airborne debris seem to zoom in on a bike! Dont think cos the sun shines a bike does not get dirty! I do accept though that if guys are riding through whatever the Uk weather throws at them then the job of keeping on top of things is much harder.
If you look at the initial post though...he admitted he had not cleaned it since December? That is hardly a question of the climate now is it??

Just use Gunk for degreasing, not general washing. You shouldn't really need it on an SV at all. Also, Gunk will destroy tarmac, so careful where you use it - do it in the road, not on your drive!

Yeah, but I bet the plane doesn't collect road crap and salt?

it's tried and tested on bikes too... Not by me yet, since the bike'sbeen off the road since I got a tin, but Patch uses it and recommends it very highly (ferociously almost) and he does some miles. The Scottoiler FS365's pretty effective, I never had any complaints about it, but it seems the ACF50's a better option. Smells nice too.

cant remember who posted it but Muk off- Pro-clean etc does work
Used it on dirt bikes for years and works wonders but is NOT a degreaser . gunk is best for chain lube IMO. Busters often do cheap muk off
