Just been having a look on the web about bike cleaning, seems everyone recommends specific bike cleaners rather than a bit of fairy liquid. Does washing up liquid really harm your bike? What do you use? |

I have MucOff but won't be buying more once it's gone, car shampoo/fairy does the same job at a fraction of the price. |

Fenwicks as I grabbed a load whilst up at Ard Rock, foams up well and cleans bike nice. (have enough for 8lts now) As said use a good bike spray as well, muc off one is a nice smell and wont make the mud stick so much |
