I've used Fenwicks since my caravan days. This stuff dilutes. Usual, spray on wet bike, leave a bit and rinse. Seems as good as all the expensive stuff.

So far I've been using the Muc-Off bike cleaner. Does a good job. I've also tried their Motorbike Protectant, seems much like GT85 etc. Will see how it holds up but I wont be commuting or riding much over winter. Only on those crisp dry days.

I've managed to sort out keeping the bike in the shed after a good clear out.

What you use the GT85 for? I use to use it for lubing bicycle chains iirc.
It's ace at cleaning stuff too, metal stuff mainly. It brings rear wheels up a treat as well as it'll cut through chain lube nicely. It'll clean motorcycle chains pretty well too.

Also Mr Sheene is awesome too as a general polish.
Another vote for Mr Sheen. Keeps rust at bay in winter if reapplied every month or so. At £1 or a can (might have gone up by now, I bought a dozen five or six years back) you can use as much as you want.

Stops squeaky brakes better than WD40 too. :thumbup:
