    Someone must know of someone that has taken a bike through a carwash
    We childproofed our homes, but they are still getting in.

    But my advice is this - learn from my stupidity. Do not EVER use washing up liquid on a bike, engine parts you have stripped down, brake parts etc. Yes, you get the grease off ... but then the highly concentrated salts start to pit and corrode aluminium and other fancy metals. Even after you have thoroughly rinsed them.

    Why did no-one tell me all those years ago first!
    Would the same apply to Dynamo laundry liquid? We have some friends who wash their trail and dual purpose bikes with it.

    We use a weak solution of degreaser on the trail bikes and car wash on the dualies.

    Who are these people that wash their bikes after every ride? Not commuters clearly, traffic wind and rain. Builds character!
