Vulcanet wipes

[Aceslock]

Anyone used these?

Thinking of getting some so i can clean the bike in the garage, but its not cheap so if anyone on here has used them and can recommend them that would be great.......

Everyone I've known that's used them has said they're great for giving a slightly dirty bike a quick and easy clean but that price

Better off with a bottle of Demon Shine and a stack of microfibre cloths. Can of WD40 and some paper wipes for the really grubby bits.

Thanks for replies guys. Just wondered if they were better than methods mentioned above ^^^

£33 for 80 wipes, doesn't seem that expensive though if you only use 3 per wash as i have read in a review somewhere? thats only like £1.23 every time i clean the bike (every other ride during the summer) so it should last me 2 years judging by our summers (i dont do wet)

I just bought a new bike (ZX6R 2006) and it is in great condition, so i really want to preserve its condition, thought maybe waterless cleaning would be the way forward?

I clean my bike indoors all the time, I also use QD to keep my lids clean. It leaves behind a little wax so the next lot of
bugs don't stick to the bike/visor as thoroughly. I use white spirit or Isopropyl alcohol on old bits of rag to deal with
oily deposits on the rear wheel.

Yep, I use them.

Bike looks like new and its a lot more convenient being able to clean the bike in a warm garage. You will use more than 3 wipes per wash but i expect mine to last a year at least.

As good as they are I doubt i'd buy them again unless they drop the price.

I use them, they do a fantastic job tbh, seem to pretty much get everything off and leave it all shiny, they don't smear dirt around either. Very impressed personally. Prev used paraffin or wd40 but prefer these

lidl's 55 pence baby wipes will do the same job!

I use them with a little wd40 to clean chain grease off my rear wheel and generally around the bike.

dont get conned use lidls or any other baby wipes


£33 for wipes (which are essentially baby wipes) with motorcycle marketing..........they must be raking it in at that markup!

Tbh they really don't do the same as baby wipes. We thought that before trying them. They cut through cack, grease and salt better than anything else and don't smear.

Makes sense for a professional shop to have a convenient product to hand particularly when wasting 10 minutes cleaning something the cheap way reduces your earning potential, particularly when doing tasks paid per job not by the hour.

Being a cheapskate I can forgo the convenience.

the baby wipes clean chain lube and dirt off my bike fine for the past 10 years. (i also use baby wipes on my own ass after a shit anyone that does not is simply disgusting!)

If your happy to pay £33 for well marketed baby/surface wipes then as you were

i remember when a sales person in infinity motorcycles in Clapham tried to sell me a version of these expensive baby/surface wipes.............i looked at him and said "mate thats baby wipes dont try rip off!"

They ain't baby wipes. The wipes themselves are quite different. If you use normal baby wipes on a painted surface you will drag the the dirt across it and you will scratch the paint work.

These aren't bad. It's surprising what they will get off. I keep a tub on the van for when I'm working where there aren't
handwashing facilities available. Bit cheaper at under a fiver a tub.

Won't they marr the paintwork over time? It sounds like you're going to end up dragging dirt across the paint work.

I guess the big question is though, how good are they at wiping your arse?
