Never tried Muc Off stuff, always used car wax shampoo.

You get what you pay for, but generally yes.
Best to get one that's has a heat resistant lower half as well.

I have used in the past this one, it is important your cover to be breathable so that the bike can dry off after rain ride:

Muck Off - not very pleased I was expecting more. WD40 cleaner again very weak. Both can't do much for old grime without serious elbow grease. I was using in the past Castrol Greentec and it is better than Muc off and WD40.

Again really not happy with these expensive cleaners. Now I just use some cheap car shampoo. Will try soon the cheapest oven foam cleaner that I can find.

Post by: bandit on 22 June 2015, 05:31:08 pm: Hi, I have the xl size that fits a 1998 model (just the bottom of wheels showing), it's alright for light showers as reviews say & keeps the dust off indoors or out but if your looking for something for all year use then look for a thicker one.
