Muc Off Motorcycle cleaner vs regular?

[ADSrox0r]

Right, first thing's first; yes I know they're just glorified soap and I'm a wanker for even considering anything as poncy and unmanly compared to good ole' elbow grease. I've never used snake oil cleaning products and I'm not under any impression that a quick spooge of the pink stuff will elicit a visit from the cleaning fairy.

Anyway, out of boredom and curiosity I saw Halfrauds have this jizz on offer but I notice there's a Muc Off Bike (bicycle) Cleaner...and a seperate, more expensive by a quid, 'Motorcycle Cleaner'.

Does anyone definitively know if it's just the same pink unicorn spunk in both bottles or does one claim to have some magical properties that the other doesn't?

I've never used Muc Off but I have used WD40 Total Wash. My god, it takes everything off, including any sort of oil so if you ACF50 your bike you will deffo need a re application. It's so strong if you don't apply it evenly you will see exactly where it has and hasn't been. I usually jet wash rinse my bike, spray it all over, have a brew and rinse off. Not the cheapest but B&M has it in quite regular.

ive been using APC diluted to whatever strength I feel necessary and its been good so far. much cheaper than "proper" brands too.

APC, All purpose cleaner - its fluorescent yellow. should be £5-10 for 5L which then gets diluted up to 10:1

I just use good old fashioned water, along with a wipe of citrus de greaser for the oily bits.

Never felt the need for poncey shampoos.

I do however, use a silicone post wash, for super shineyness and easy washingness.

Use your mams fairy liquid followed by a good ACF50'ing when the roads start getting salty. Repeat at the dawn of spring.

Anything else is overkill and you're a tart for considering spending money what could be used for fuel/bacon/coffee/fags on cleaning products.

Also inb4 'Fairy liquid harm your bike tho' I've been using it since 1974. Never had a problem.

Pre winter clean and ACF50'ing.

For the record; bought some and tried in a moment of 'more money than sense'.

Yeah, it's not bad I suppose. It does take some of the effort out of scrubbing down, doesn't seem to harm anything. I'd only buy it if it was on super special offer like.

Is it better than good ole cheap car shampoo in a bucket? Nah, but for a quick hose down clean it ain't too bad.

Now, this APC stuff then eh.....
