• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Waterless cleaner

Goooooooood morning,

Wondering about waterless cleaner ... Muc-Off specifically.
Do these really clean, or are they more of a detailer spray?

Got a dirty Spyder in my shed ....

TIA & Happy New Year!

Ive never used this exact product but I doubt its any better than regular car wash soap.I looked on Amazon to read the reviews and I didnt see too many good ones and some guys said it discolors black plastic.Thats a deal breaker for me.I like to use a hose to get the loose gritty stuff off first.Then I use very soapy microfiber cloth on body and sprial brush on wheels.Then I use gas blower to dry,followed by any decent detail spray(ive tried ceramic,what a waste of money),its a lot of work but when I get to a hotel I can do a quickie cleanup and Im good to go.
 
For decades, I do what I call the wet cloth, dry cloth bike cleaning process. I fill a pail with plain water and toss in an old wash cloth. Half way wring it out and wipe a small section. Then dry it with an old towel. Repeat until the entire bike is clean. Works great at motels using a waste basket and rags I got from the desk or housekeeping. I very seldom do a hose wash. Usually only after riding in rain.
If there is just light dust, I use a detailer.

It's supposed to be in the mid 60s Saturday. My bike is filthy. I'll get the hoSe out and wash it proper then dry it off with a long ride. Even in NC, we don't get a lot of mid 60s days in the middle of winter. I might buy some of Lamonsters detail spray (once he's back from holiday) to keep it clean.
 
Good & lazy nojoke too busy riding, will do occasionally using Fast wax 1 D97473D0-6B66-49E3-B8D9-04EA822C31C4.jpg, however np letting high school bands wash Kids do the bending/kneeling scrubbing for$5. No pressure washer worries, they get a smile & maybe a pic.:thumbup
 
A couple things work well for me when not using the hose.

Spray bottle of water with a dryer sheet in it. Spray and wipe.

Spray bottle of water with hydrogen peroxide in it. Spray and wipe

PS: I fixed the spelling on hose so the thread does not go South from the OP's question. :bowdown:
