Ok so CT18 can get for good $$ noramlly $60 for 6L can do for $45
1L rrp $20 can do for 18
better deal is the 6L bottle neatly makes it 1/3 of the price

Repco is $50 for 6 litres, $150 for bigger, 25 litres ?.

First try I got 6 & now I know why the truckers and contractors bikes alloy swingarms always look so shiny, that stuff on metal is really good, a better degreaser than dynamo ( a good thing ?? ), but I reckon dynamo still wins on plastics and boots

.

Price wise it's about double the price at ~ $3 a wash, but a damn sight easier to manage than liquid dynamo which clogs up the spray washer all the time.

I'll use up the 6litre as a full test, but convenience and the job on the engine will mean I stick with it I suspect.

Not so fast there, big G. We haven't discussed why 2-strokes are better/easier to clean than 4-strokes (Or vice versa).
