Wasn't sure and I was riding. Passed you the first time at the beginning of the first red loops single track (after Everest or its easy option) then again near the end of the clear felled area as I recall. Your a skinny dude (in comparison to me lol) so should be easy to spot next time and I'll say gidday. Problem is I get caught up in just riding. It was a good ride.

Have never tried motomuck, but almost half a litre seems like alot
isnt dynamo a clothes wash powder? some of those wash powders i think are very caustic and could mark your alloy

Could be I usually pull over and let the faster riders go in front, I like the more technical riding and insane impossible tracks thats were I can really push the limits of the AWD. It would of been awesome if it had rained today some of the expert hill climbs and everest would of been amazing although I saw a few riders flip out.

Its actually a liquid clothes detergent, It certainly doesnt seem caustic, its just a liquid soap I reckon, hell i even use it to clean my car!! I dont buy dynamo though I buy budget liquid clothes detergent.

On the subject of cleaners - which of the above aforementioned are enviro-friendly I wonder?

Yep you can use clothes wash detergent but it is known to strip the wax off your paint and in some cases can damage the clear coat

dish wash will remove grease and some road film but some of the greasey stuff you put on your car like waxs and polishs you want to stay put, i usually use a degreaser for the bottom half of the car then a good car wash or pro clean if its really dirty and muddy.
But then again.. i would.. as thats what i do for a living

Clothes detergent??? - How big's your washing machine?
Do you have a long or short spin?
Heres me using a karcher water blaster and simple car wash! How silly can i be?

No liquid Dynamo won't mark your alloy. It will bring it up nice and clean though. Its the enzymes, they eat through dirt. Been using it since the 80's with no probs. I hose of the loose stuff then just mix half a capful in a spray bottle with some water, spray on, leave for ten minutes then hose off. No need to even scrub unless the clay is really caked on thick.

Should have been there two weeks ago when it was drizzling. Some good slippery stuff to be found then up and down hill. Passed quite a few riders stuck on hills that day.
Everest was really easy today as its just been graded and was dry.

Sounds like you like the technical stuff as well, are you keen to do the wires in reverse I can’t find anyone else who's up for it. Up the waipaheke track and round the loop?
