Muc-Off Nano Tech Bike Cleaner: Anyone spot better value than this?

[Fordulike]

Another thread reminded me to get some more Muc-Off Nano Tech Bike Cleaner.

Before I pull the trigger on this deal from Tweeks, have anyone seen a better deal?

Works out at £2.50 per litre.

Best I could find as well

I actually ended up ordering from eBay, as Tweeks didn't appear to have any way of paying via PayPal. It was a few pence cheaper too, and delivery was super fast

Muc Off Nano Tech Bike Cleaner 10 Litre Pack (Buy One 5L Get Another 5L Free)

Anyway, even though the containers say motorcycle cleaner, it's exactly the same Nano Tech stuff that you get in the little 1 litre squirty bottles.



The bonus is, that buying in bulk works out much much cheaper. Great VFM if you plan on keeping your pride and joy clean.

That seems very cheap.
The site on eBay shows the fully branded Muc Off logo etc.
Those photo clearly don't have the Muc Off logo.
Sure it's the real deal?

Yep, they are 2 for 1 promotional packs.
Here's some more pictures for clarification:

Hee hee, just used this stuff on my car alloy wheels, and it's done a grand job of getting rid of the baked on brake dust.

Reckon it's kinder to the alloy and brake parts, than the 'Wonder Wheels' type of stuff too.

Muc Off's my best friend

I like Muc-off too, but I believe there are cheaper alternatives:

• Fenwicks FS-1 costs about £10 for 1 litre (concentrated), and can be diluted to make up to 10 litres
• Wilko have an orange 1L bike spray in store for £4 a bottle
• Some people have reported that Poundland sells a pink bike cleaner...for £1. I don't know if it's any good

Wiggle currently has a promotion and sells the standard Muc-off 1L sprays for £5 a bottle...

Tried the Poundland stuff. About as effective as pink water in my opinion

I found the Fenwicks product to be just the same.

Truck wash aside, I haven't yet found anything to beat Muc-Off.

I'm another that uses it to clean alloy car wheels. It's also good for cleaning the mower and strimmer.

Applying ForkJuice after cleaning the bike, also prevents mud from sticking quite so much, which in turn means that Muc-Off isn't required after every muddy ride. Stopping crud from sticking to the bike in first place is the way to go.

Do you mean as ineffective as the PoundLand "coloured" water, or as effective as Muc-off?

Sorry, I meant as useful as coloured water.

Upon reflection though, the clay and chalk residue often left on the bike after first washing the mud off, can be very hard to remove, so perhaps I am being unfair about the product.

I've never had anything that Muc Off won't shift though.

Forgot to mention I bought this deal, thanks! Did a good job indeed.

One up for this as well. Had the alloys off, so gave it a shot front and back.
I was hoping a few mins then rinse would have been enough, but alas not. Once over with a sponge was needed.

I detest cleaning alloys, but this stuff made it not exactly enjoyable, but bearable.

I should have bought the fancy brush kit a few months back! I reckon that'll make a difference.

Amazon has Muc-off reduced to £6.80 for a litre and it qualifies for Amazon Prime

A squirt of washing up liquid in a bucket of warm water seems to do me fine for all my bikes & m/c's..... It not even a problem removing brake dust on my car alloys.
Is there some sort of special dirt that needs this pink stuff ?

 

[chris130256]

Yamdude, in my mbike days it was Gunk that got the job done on greasy, oil stained bike parts. This 'pink stuff' does as good a job, if not better. Soapy water will do 90 pc of the bike but you need the pink for the other 10pc!
Yep, I was as sceptical as you before I tried it.

I guess if i were riding a 60's Triumph, that bled oil from most of the seals, i'd have use for gunk too.
Jap bikes dont need it, the only oil spots are around the chain sprockets and they're easily removed with a rag. I occasionally clean the chain with white spirit.

But hey, i'm not telling you you dont need Muc Off..... its just that i haven't yet found a need for it.

Nope, some of us just like to keep in touch with our feminine side
