I use muck-off to actually wash my bike (but I do agitate it), and baby wipes (much cheaper than the wipes reviewed here) for quick cleans like bugs in the summer and on oily bits. Works for me!

[tonybarton]

Always used s100 especially on wheel rims, brake dust etc, I always agitate with a soft brush and never had any problems with it ever since it came out 😊😊👍👍

Vulcanet wipes are great if your bike parking space is no where near a water supply. Used to live in flats with allocated space. Easier than carrying two buckets plus cleaning kit down 3 floors.
Does leave a residue similar to silicon spray. Great on black plastic or metal. Can’t penetrate areas a liquid can though. 9/10

Heard so much about the muc off cleaning products about destroy ling paintwork, engine coatings, wheels etc so will never use it, will and do use mild soap+water and then simple bucket of wipes for wheels then polish up the bodywork.

Muc-off is the first one I've tried and it's fine for everything except rims. I've got a few chain lube spots and what looks like tire rubber stuck to the rim and Muc-off is powerless against it even with agitation.

[dennisbuckley]

Also worth mentioning that Muc Off is biodegradable and also now available in refill pouches so the empty spray bottle doesn’t end up in landfill. Saves a few bob, too. Haven’t used them yet, mind, so can’t vouch for their efficiency/quality but have some on order. I’ll report back… 👍

Various cleaning products only work well in non hard water areas, S100 and Muc Off leaves water spots. Vulcanet wipes leaves swirls and damages your paint work as they trap small grit particles that haven't been removed via pre rinse.

[yewtreeknives]

Best and cheapest cleaner for rims is oil for petrollamps on a rag and all grease and dirt is gone...also leaves a coating so nothing really sticks to the rims 👍😎

[steelsporty]

Vulcanet wipes are great for regular cleaning, but not for caked-on mud. I put half a dozen in a zip-lock bag to take with me when touring. They take up next to no room. Do not use if you like to arrive home with your bike looking like you've ridden it the length and breadth of Africa.

[tonnynijholt]

There is not a single cleaner that will clean the bike without touching it. It’s gimmick. There will always stay a film layer on the bike.

[niconine]

Will need to sell the bike to buy the vulcanet

[rwalton]

Anyone recommend me a good brush to use to agitate the cleaner please?

[georginiuss]

You missed Koch Chemie products. In a five productos analysis, they have to be in there

[zoomsnipes]

How to I agitate all the stuck on oil and break dust on my wheels? They’re white but everything is stuck on there looks damn near brown now please help what type of brush do I get

[nemerkha]

The Sdoc 100 Gel is absolutely lethal. Cleans very well, but strips down paint like there is no tomorrow. Used as per instruction - spray on dry bike, agitate and leave 15-20 mins. just too strong.

[brianhilsden]

You mentioned that 5 litres bottles saved on plastics, but made no mention of how biodegradable the wipes were?

[jamiecarter]

Have you got a link for the brush that you’re using
