Saw advertised by a YouTuber and thought I would give it a go to replace regular 'pink'(!) cleaner. Seems safe and effective.
Works as well as MucOff, but no better. Takes half a bottle to clean one bike, so two cleans per bottle. That makes it prohibitively expensive and I will not be repeating the purchase. Back to MucOff for me!
I hate washing my bike prefering to fuch off out and ride, so any product that may speed up that process is a no brainer. With a bit of elbow grease this stuff helps shift grot and dead stuff. I always finish with polish on painted parts and ACF 50 on other bits (sprayed on rag or duster as a light coating) so not too fussed about how well it rinses off. Consistantly great customer service from Sportsbikeshop.
Works a treat
Used both Silkolene wash off and Muc Off on motorcycle and car. Both worked very well, both required a bit of brushing. When I need a refill I'll be buying which ever one is cheapest.
Great product, spray on, agitate a bit and rinse off. Simple, bike looks great afterwards.
Works ok but maybe we should use concentrated washes so we are not unnecessarily shipping water around the world!
I have used this to clean my bike on several occasions now. Each time, the results have been slightly different. I've read and followed the instructions, but the first time I used it, it left a residue behind, even after using a chamois leather. I had to then spend longer cleaning this off than I otherwise would have, just using normal automotive shampoo. The second time was not so bad. The only thing I can think is that although I didn't apply it in strong sunlight, or allow to dry, the satin black of the bike tends to warm up rapidly even on a cloudy day, so the first time it may have partially dried perhaps. I do know thorough rinsing is required to get it all off. I need to experiment further.
It is quite good at cleaning the street grime off the lower parts of engine swingarm and shaft drive. Not on it's own though; you do need to agitate the sprayed on product with a brush to loosen the dirt.
Looking at the ratings on here, the vast majority of people seem to be happy with it, so it may just be me. Or that the colour and finish of my bike is not particularly suited to it. I will persevere a bit longer, but the jury is still out at the moment.
Really easy to use with fantastic results.
Spray it on, wash it off nothing I have tried comes close to this product. The fact it has no salt is first class.
Does what it says on the tin and reasonably priced
This is a great alternative to the other top rate cleaners I will only use on my bike. Totally safe on all areas, performs as expected and cracking price!
No obvious benefit over washing up liquid. Not that effective at grime, left a residue all over bike which needed to be polished off.
Did the job just right
I used first time but I have to say is very good. Water the bike and than apply this spray all over. Leave for few minutes and than wash again the bike. Is doing the job very well. Recommend!
It's not the cheapest but it is by far the best, A must buy if you have pride in your bike, the performance cannot be beaten in my view and others agree.
Gives a clean finish, no streaking. Better than M**Off.
This is a salt free cleaner, spray it on, hose it off, it's as simple as that.
