    The last ime I bought GT85 I paid under £1.50 a tin, could have paid £1.20 if I bought at the right time.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    Sorry noob question here, but where are the "best places" to spray your GT85! And any tips for using it? ie. should it just be sprayed on the chain, or...

    Use it on your chain after cleaning to dispel water. If you have a powdercoat finished frame you can wipe over the frame to give it a nice finish, this also makes the frame easier to clean as less crap will stick to it.

    thats about it, its good for polishing frame, and cleaning/drying the chain. use a proper chain lube after though...

    Just remember it's for dispersing water not using as a lube. Keep it away from moving parts in your suspension where it can drive out the existing lube and especially away from brake surfaces!

    I mainly use it on the drivetrain after I've cleaned it to help drive the water out and then relube with a proper chain lube later on when everything's dry. It's good for cleaning cables too.
