has anyone else used the after wash spray? Just cleaned my bike and sprayed it 'all over' as it says.... it smoked like f**k on the exhaust and engine and left the painted surfaces lookin' like shit.

I've used Muc Off, years ago. Was crap, IMHO.

I'm using thier bike cleaner and I think its brilliant, hose the bike and spray this stuff on then go and give the chain lube a good shake/make a brew, hose the bike off and all the salt and shit has gone, dry the bike, lube the chain and put it away ready for next time Thumbs Up

I used to use their all-round bike cleaner to remove grime pre-wash, until I realised it was probably removing my ACF50 in the process.

Now I just use a bit of WD40 for soiled areas, seems to work okay. Cheaper too.

I use either muc-off or proclean on my bikes and have never had any problems with it. I jetwash the bike all over, spray the cleaner all over, leave to do its stuff and then wash off. Make sure that you wash it all off thoroughly and I can't see why it would be a bad thing.

I sometimes think using it on my roadbike is a bit extravagant, as the bike never gets that dirty really, but I've found that the scottoiler can be a little over exhuberant sometimes and the muc-off/proclean makes light work of the excess on the swingarm.

I got a load of muc-off on a multi-buy deal last time I needed cleaner, but I think I prefer proclean given the choice.

Muck-Off products are highly overpriced and overrated.

Get yourself some asda wash and wax, mix some up with water and some paraffin and it'll be better.

Muc off products sometimes get buy 1 get 1 free sort of deals on various sites.

Pretty good, not had any torubl with it. However I am sure most clening products are good.

OK I took the bike to work today and decided to have a bit of a polishing sesh when I got home.... T-cut wouldn't go through the mucoff and autosol wouldn't go through it on the chrome.... just all kinda gummed up.... the bits I did do I had to go over twice.

Although to be fair the mucoff did bring up the hard to polish areas quite well.

For cleaning the bike in the first place I just used some wilco wash and wax stuff with a quick squirt of washing up liquid... that and a scouring sponge worked wonders on removing surface rust on the wheels and other metal parts (without scratching too)
