Used to use Muc Off but found this stuff called 'No More DIRTY BIKE' from the Pound Land, believe it or not its as good as Muc Off, looks and smells the same and a quid for a ltr bottle its a bargain!! Cleans the cooker and chip fry easily too! My guess is its the same stuff, these pound shops take a lot of over production/end of lines and re-pack them.
About 10 years ago I bought some polish off Chesterfield market from 1 of these 1 day display stands because I got a nice set of Stanley screwdrivers free, it was called BOSUN, one of the TV channel products, it turned out to be the best polish I've EVER bought! Cant find it for love nor money now, was distributed from Manchester, any one know of it or where to find it under another name? Still got some left, do me for another couple of years but would like to replace it. Screwdrivers still going strong too!!
Was thinking of going the compressor route myself......What size compressor & what spray gun did you get in terms of nozzle size please?
Got my compressor from Lidl, looks the same as the one from Machine Mart. £85 plus a free set of tools. All work fine. La Roca
I use plain and simple Mr Sheen for 90% of the time and an occasional going over with a wax polish. Now I know some of you will have a heart attack at this, but I also use it (sparingly) to clean my brake discs - and no it doesn't effect your braking.
I'm a big fan of Mr Sheen for polishing the bike - quick and easy so you are likely to do it more often.
I like Mr Sheen for removing chain lube off my back wheel & as a polish to make things sparkle, I can see it`s attraction.....But using it anywhere near my brakes is a definite NO,NO. I take it you only use it around the rotor & not near the braking area???? For me, I need the brakes to bite & slow me down....Not smell nice & look shiny Don`t take offence....it`s only my opinion
..lol most people are horrified about me spraying a bit of Mr Sheen on my discs, but I assure you it doesn't effect your braking. On the plus side you'll see how much shite comes off your brake discs.. It's a degreasent and not a wax polish like in furniture polish.
As well as making an excellent chain lube remover, Mr Sheen is also very useful for cleaning greasy hands in an emergency eg hooking one's truck up to a trailer - it's amazing how much grease is picked up from a fifth wheel by the air and electrical suzies now matter how hard you try to keep them clean. 'Tis a bugger when your gloves go awol!! Keeps the cab clean as well!!
Well....woznotwoz, if we all go out on our bikes one day...you won't be offended if I go behind you, say 20 bikes behind you will ya?
Hahaha.....no not at all. Ive been using Mr Sheen for many a year (and riding bikes for 40 years) and I'm still here to tell the tale....
How diverse are we???we've gone from talking about scrubbing thorough to scrubbers back to scrubbing again.....amazing !!!!! Still...at least we've given woznotwoz a brake.....get it?, brake...oh never mind
