Anyone tried this out yet? It claims to clean dirty chains and disc brakes leaving residual free dry surface? Seems like a good alternative to chain cleaner bath. Interested to hear a riders opinion as oppossed to marketing blurb. Cheers

    which one? i use one of their degreases in a chain bath.

    think it is the same stuff but one is a spray and other is not.

    Do you mean Speed Clean?

    It's not nearly as effective as a chain bath (White Lightening do their version - Clean Streak - with a pseudo-chain bath attachemet which is supposed to be very good) but it does clean brakes and gets the worst off a chain.

    I have a chain bath from Edinburgh Coop thats ok that I use with Halford citrus degreaser, but thought this may be easier/quicker

    not used that one just the citrus and the Eco2. but the speed clean sounds very good.

    I use the finish line spray on degreaser and a toothbrush. Takes longer but it's very theraputic!

    I use the Speed Degreaser (yellow can) and it works really well. Never sure how much to spray on though. I think it would work best if you could use it in a chain bath, although don't breathe in too many fumes! Strong stuff!
