Muc-Off Nano-Tech Bike Cleaner, 5 Liter - Fast-Action, Biodegradable Bicycle Cleaning Fluid - Safe On All Surfaces And Suitable For All Types Of Bike

Must have for the lazy!

I was a bit skeptical at first, but after just a couple uses, I became a believer in Muc-Off fast action bike cleaner. So much so, I buy the 5L to save money. This for me is a great value, as I ride year round.I had always used car soap to clean my bikes & thought specialty bike soap was just a gimmick. I was really surprised how well Muc-Off broke down the trail mud & muck, allowing for almost scrub free cleaning. I say almost, because for the thicker, oilier muck, a soft brush aides in getting the frame & bike components clean. To use, you just spray Muc-Off on your pre-wetted bike, let sit & soak for 2-3 minutes, use a sponge or soft bristle brush to wipe/scrub as you rinse off. If it is really sunny or hot, this is best done in the shade. The direct sun & heat will cause the cleaner to dry rapidly before rinsing. I like that it does not damage parts like the brake rotors & calipers. For light cleaning (after dry dusty rides or just maintenance cleaning) I’ve found by using a separate spray bottle & diluting the solution with water (1:1), Muc-Off is still plenty strong to clean my MTB.A bonus I really like about Muc-Off bike cleaner is that it’s biodegradable. I’m not a hippie, but if I can use a product that won’t unnecessarily damage or stress the environment, I will. If that product is one of the best at what it does, great!Thank you for taking the time to read my review, I hope you found it helpful.

This stuff is quite strong and I have to say it's ideal for washing bikes that have grime that tends to resist washing off.First of all, if you have cuts, you will feel it with this product. It stings like hell. However when I tested this product on some older anodized finishes by soaking them in, it cleaned it up nicely without dulling the finish. I've seen other pink colored products that is cheaper but it tends to dull the finish. Always get the real Muc Off stuff.I don't see the need to use this product full strength all the time. I recommend making two spray bottles, one at full strength, ideal for scrubbing tires (this is mostly for those of us that store bikes indoors with carpet), the other at a strength to use on the rest of the bike.If you tend to wash your bikes when the grime hasn't baked itself on, you can use a lighter solution. If you tend to wash your bike on a schedule where the grime had time to set in, use more product. Try not to use this product under direct sunlight as it'll dry up faster. The best way is to spray it on, let it sit for a couple of minutes then wash off with a sponge and hose.

I first got 5L jug of this on Woot for $19.99. That was a great deal. I replenished in December at $31.00 - OK price. It's currently $44 - not so great (my opinion). So if you're using this as your primary cleaner, it's going to get expensive pretty quickly. Comparing it to traditional car wash soap (i.e., Chemical Guys Mr. Pink) it's prohibitive.However, it has an important role to play. We use Mr. Pink as our main soap, but mountain bikes have hard to reach places - lower linkage, pivots, suspension etc. This is what we use the Muc-Off for. Give those nooks and crannies a good hit, let sit a few minutes while doing other stuff, then rinse. Works a treat. Use it where it has the most benefit, and stick to traditional much cheaper soap for the bulk of the cleaning.Avoid getting it on your skin, and especially in your eyes. A degree of caution when spraying is advisable.

Great product

I used this on my Ducati Monster and it seems like it did the job pretty well. It took off a lot of the dirt that was on the bike and wheels. After you wash it off you still need to do the necessary stuff like quick detail spray and what other you use to detail your bike. Good product! recommend!

Easy to use, just spray it, wait a couple of minutes and rinse with water, it leaves the bicycle like new, honestly like magic. I have a Pivot bicycle with matte finish and it does not stain or damage the paint.

does what they say and does it well
