I’ve used muc-off ever since I started riding which is a massive 8 months now and loving it. I use the nono pink one and the one for matt paint. Amazing stuff. I’m really nerdy about cleaning my bike and clean it after every ride. Either as a full wash or just a waterless wipe down. Always looks mint.
Just a note (as it can be a safety issue): do not use the same rug you used to clean your chain on your brake discs. It's not clear in the video if we did or not but if this video is targeting riders without much experience they might assume it is ok to do so.
You used the same towel on the chain, discs, and paint work. so many reasons not to do this, chain oil residue transferring onto the discs and brake dust etching into the paintwork from the braking components.
Hi Great video well done but as a Yorkshireman? I was crying how much spray you were using out of a costly can I used three handkerchieves watching the Video!!!
Hi Andrew, it was interesting to see something different on this chanel! It would be cool if you guys could make videos which regards to safety when riding... Or advices. Regards
Thanks alot! I trust you when you are using a Rolex Daytona when spraying your bike with the products with the watch still on your wrist... I would not do that with my Rolex on :)
For the chain, use kerosene in a spray bottle and save yourself a bunch of money. Only thing is, you want to put a piece of cardboard behind the chain as you spray the kerosene, as it'll create a mess.
Kerosene cleans up the chain alright, but it also eats the o/x/z/whatever-rings in it and lets the factory grease out, turning your expensive chain into the shit people had in the 90's, and unless you lubricate it constantly lowering its lifespan to a couple thousand miles. It's better to not clean it at all than to clean it with kerosene(or stuff that has kerosene in it, like WD40).
@@2strokedesignerr you might be wrong there my friend, I'm certainly I saw a video a guy doing exactly that sort of test for O-rings ect and WD40 even putting it in a jar and letting the rings sit in it for hours, with no noticeable impact on the X and O ring seals 😊
Have to say, this was my thought when I turned up! At least it gave us a chance to highlight the use of the waterless wash, which wouldn't have been possible if it was properly caked in it. Cheers, Andrew
Why are you not making the bike wet? There’s now a chance that you scratch the bike from sand and dirt. And never use the same towel The products are excellent
After declaring your lack of knowledge why didn't you film them teaching you ? Having said you've been sent there to learn, you then say "We've decided to launch" did I miss something ?
Searched for the Fortnine video review, as I completely trust that dude, but I didn’t come up with it. If it’s easy could you kindly drop a link? Though I’ve pretty much decided against it, because I’ve come across other reviewers with bad experiences, like this one: th-cam.com/video/7zb2H7E_Wb8/w-d-xo.html - she responds to the comments and it seems that it’s just too harsh for finishes, spark plug covers, cables, decals, etc., not to mention skin
@@Yowzoe here's a great review of a bunch of cleaners, including Muc-Off. They have a special section at the end for matte paint. There's a link in the description to the text of the review. th-cam.com/video/9NsFLPDgFqA/w-d-xo.html
never wash my motorcycle never had an issue waste time and money on crap i ride in all weather the only wash it gets is in winter chain lube is unnecessary
Waterless wash... also known to those in the know as exfoliation. You need to apply common sense and logic to matters... if you do not remove surface contaminants made up predominantly of dust, grit and general road grim, with water and something like snow foam to help lift it from the surface in the first instance... you will collect them in your cloth and be rubbing them into your precious paintwork... which will lead to at best, swirls in your paint and at worst deep scratches. Sometimes the wheel just doesn’t need reinventing. No offence intended... I love you guys and buy from you often... but waterless washing isn’t a good idea 👍
2020 now, plenty of great waterless products to use on light grime without scratching. I've got a matte black paint and used waterless washes plenty of times without any damage at all. Obviously if its lots of dirt you need water. Just make sure to have a couple of towels and shift side after a dirty panel. I always start uptop so the tank paint doesn't get scratched.
i find that Muc-Off is just way overpriced. Get exactly the same product without the fancy name and Instagram payed promotion at a local store. If anyone tells you otherwise they, im sorry, they are talking crap.
Why dont ya wipe the paint work down with a brick ya muppet.Nice bike,shame the owner has no idea about true care of a loved one.Most likely trades in on new one every 2 years
Hi Robb, the bike for the vid was supplied by and belongs to the owner of Muc Off - maybe given his business he has a slightly different understanding of dirty. I don't disagree with your point but hopefully the purpose of the products is still clear from the vid. Andrew
Polishing the tank with the same towel used for the chain is really a miracle if it shines !
Haha, no, fortunately I had a near infinite number of towels to use, being, as I was, at Muc-off's HQ - Andrew
@@UrbanRiderlondon hehe cheers

Hello franco, for waterless you use on matt as well? I just bought the waterless but not sure how it works.
@@haririhamid5125 hi, I spray it on to a micro fibre cloth and wipe all sefaces with it and seems to work fine.

I used Muc-Off for several years. At least once a year. My R1100GS was known for being filthy.
Once a year 😳 what the hell!! Poor bike.
I am using this product but it’s high alkaline so I’m confused , I see some parts going matt …like brake pump
WD 40 and Brakekleen:). WD 40 is a miracle cleaner.
Do you have one of muc off hb 1 on motorbike
All that grit on the "same" microfiber used for the chain, brakes - and then on the tank! Tut tut!
Hydrate the disk? 😂 5:26
Hi Great video well done but as a Yorkshireman? I was crying how much spray you were using out of a costly can I used three handkerchieves watching the Video!!!
If I clean my VTR Firestorm with Muc Off, it will change to Triumph Thruxton TFC? :D :D (I ll take it as a second bike)
Yes
I am simple man, I see amazing TFC Thruxton = LIKE :D
We like too
A great review of hopefully a great product i shall try some of it on me scoot thank you.
Very noticeable on the vid that you haven't cleaned many bikes!
Best of luck!
We've all got to start somewhere, be nice
Could you tell me what the best and safest product is that muc off do too clean and protect my carbon fibre panels?
Just use window cleaner. I use that for all of my carbon parts for years.
Name the products which used by u for bike in this video thank you ...
For waterless, can it be used on any type of material? Including matt?
Wouldn't mate.
You can not polish matt paint finish.
Better to do full correct wash.
U do not want to cause any swirl or scratches. 👌
Would not use waterless anything you drag dirt grit dead bugs over your paintwork you'll just get swirling wash it properly.
"Hydrate the disc" could you explain what you meant by this?
i am also curious as to what he means about hydrating his disc?
Only need to clean the outside of the disc eh ?
Hi Andrew, it was interesting to see something different on this chanel! It would be cool if you guys could make videos which regards to safety when riding... Or advices.

Glad it was helpful!
HYDRATE THE DISC ??
Yeah!
Nice Daytona
When will your store be open?
It already is, email or call for an appointment
i love cleaning my bike
Any idea if these products are okay on Ducati Stealth matte black paint with clear coat?
They will definitely get some muc off
@@UrbanRiderlondon .... Not what he asked. Noticed your answers are usually flippant.

Not sure if it's the same thing but I use parafin for the chain, does a great job and yes it saves a ton of money!

Sadly in 2023, a jug of kerosene is almost as much as Muc Off drivetrain cleaner. Also does Kerosene ever stink! Muc Off is Asthma friendly lol.
@@_Just_Some1in the UK it is the same 😂

The speed polish works great.
Doesn't it just
also usable on the (gas) tank?
That looks the cleanest dirty bike ever ..
Convenient isn't it

Hydrate metal 🤔
Wouldn’t let this guy clean my wheelie bin.😂
Why are you not making the bike wet?
There’s now a chance that you scratch the bike from sand and dirt.
And never use the same towel
The products are excellent
He didn't wet it because it's 'waterless' spray and he didn't use the same cloth as he had many of em just look the same 😊
Get yourself some waterless wax cleaner, cheap and cheerful and works fine
cleaning a clean motorcycle :D would have been nice to clean a dirty one.
Ignore the section of disc within the caliper......? Weird.
Spin wheel...... simples.
Lol. How many cans did he use on the chain!
Never enough
After declaring your lack of knowledge why didn't you film them teaching you ?

These are all just different options - the product doesn't have to be for you!
Disc cleaner hydrates brakes...really
Also nourishes and revitalise your discs 😬
🤣🤣🤣
Hydrate the disk? How TF do you hydrate a break disk? 😂
Everybody loves fairy and water
i find that Muc-Off is just way overpriced. Get exactly the same product without the fancy name and Instagram payed promotion at a local store. If anyone tells you otherwise they, im sorry, they are talking crap.
We think it's pretty great anyway
Never start and clean ur chain guys it’s fucking dangerous
The music in the background is completely pointless, ruins the video.
Thanks for your feedback!
Oh dear, how not to clean your bike....
Washing the bike like this is very likely to cause a lot of paint scratches😳
