I'm impressed
One of the prizes I received at the MOB meet last year was a 'cleaning kit' it was described by Steph as a new revolutionary system, however the descriptions were in French (not surprising as its made in France) so it has set on my shelf until now.
I've been so busy lately that I have had no time to clean or ride the bike, it has sat in the shed since the track day. With the Fenman show due the end of the month I decided on a quick clean with a complete detail prior to Belgium. Soo I thought I'd give this kit a try, found an English translation and started in. I am TOTALLY AMAZED, 99% of dead splattered insects came off with one wipe, a following buff brought up a shine as good as that I get using wax. It works on everything paint, plastic and anodised, it produces an excellent finish on carbon parts. Chain lube fling on the rear wheel disappears with one wipe. Its waterless, my previous method involved gunk, shampoo an three types of polish and of course a not inconsiderable amount of time. I can now clean the bike to my standards in 20 minutes. Could not recommend this more highly, I am suspicious of so called new technology especially with regard to cleaning products where marketing is 90% of the product (the Cilit bang I bought didn't work like it was shown on the telly). But this stuff does what it says on the tin, I'll be using it from now on. http://uk.vulcavite.com/en/vulcanet |

I stopped using muck off after it permanently stained the alloy and carbon on my bike

Yup Muck off ruined my black side panels and black engine I was really hacked off.
I also tried 'Hippo" a kinder version of Muc off and it did the same, I now squirt it down my drain! Always wondered if these non water product worked so thats good to know. |

i found the sdoc s100 total bike cleaner gel to be much better than muc off as long as you dont let it dry
thanks for your review capo, as probably one of the most fastidious moster owners i have seen i have gone out and bought some vulcanet on the strength of your review. It aint cheap at £40 FOR 80 wipes but they reckon 2-3 wipes is enough to clean a whole bike and if it saves the hours normally speant cleaning my grubby bikes then its money well speant as i will have more time to ride will let you know how i get on cheers ali |

Many products like muc off etc, are harmful to plastics and metal parts. Id never use it on a nice bike. Whats wrong with a bucket and sponge?

I've been using this product for almost a year now, no colour changes or any other damage to whatever material.
Normally I use 3 or 4 wipes to clean the bike (1 or 2 for the wheels, 1 for the swingarm and greasy bits and the last one for the rest of the bike). Best regards, Jan, |
