    I can vouch for it too, expensive yes, but coming from HG you know its not going to destroy your bike in six months.

    Ive been using sdoc for a year or so now and it's ace stuff, great on really grimy areas like sprocket etc

    Worth noting they sometimes do a buy 1ltr get 1 ltr free, last time they ran that I bought a stock pile :)

    I quite like the cider too, but if stella lager makes the bike cleaning better who am I to argue?

    Hang on.

    This isn't like beer goggles, is it. Old Bats stands there, leaning against his garage wall quaffing the amber throat smoother for an hour or two and then, by default thinks "Bugger me, that bike looks good."

    He may be scrubbing it with Vim with enough Wifebeater in him.

    Actually SDoc struggles with chain grease on the rear wheel regardless of scrubbing, and it smears if used on the fairing/tank in the sun...

    So what is good for getting chain lube off the back wheel, as most decent chain cleaners tell you to never get it on the tyre?

    I just use the Maguires wheel cleaner for that, spray it on, leave for a min, give it a wipe and rinse off.

    Works like a charm

    I'm using Muc-Off Degreaser aerosol at the moment to clean wheels. Spray on microfiber cloth and rub... works really well. Does as good a job as WD-40, but I dont think its got the same lubing properties??? (dont know if anyone can confirm that as I havent used it much yet)... all I know is it shifts chain crud from my gay white wheels!!! LOL

    Ever Build Wonder Wipes from Toolstation. A tub full of hard core wet wipes, £3.75 for a tub of 50. Get the bike on the paddock stand, hold the wipe against the rim and just turn the wheel. As a pre-clean before some more serious detailing or just an interim wipe off it's a small portion of yellow liquid.

    Mind you, my wheels are Black.

    Ahhh, the classics.

    Remember that stuff that used to come in, like, a lttle frying pan full of grease. You put it on the cooker to melt it then dropped your chain in and let it soak into all the links then when it cooled and went hard you pulled the chain out and put it back on fully lubed.

    Yeah my Mum loved that stuff.
