I haven't tried liquid dynamo, but this Koala care stuff is worth trying, simply because I bet it's a whole heap more economical than washing detergent. The Koala care stuff is easy on your hands too.

Great timing on this thread.

Hosed my bike down when I got home after my ride on Saturday, looked clean wet. Once it dried it looked hardly better than when I started.

Has anyone been down to that self service washing place down Moorehouse Ave? I think they've got waterblasters down there. May be an option until I can afford to buy my own. Added benefit would be the drying time the ride home would provide.

I found 5L of Simple Green in a cupboard and saw someone mentioned it earlier, so I gave it a try.

Took the plastics off my wee bike and sprayed the whole bike with it using a glass cleaner squirter bottle, and then hosed it down with decent water pressure from a garden hose.

I can't fucking believe it...I've never bothered to try cleaning a bike properly in my life, but this took piss all effort and it looks better than it did new...I thought all the chrome was wrecked...but it's mint now hahaha niiice.

If only I realised it took so little effort before...I'm quite shocked!!!
