Degreaser use on drivetrains

scotthunter

I usually clean my chain using a degreaser and spray it directly onto the chain, cassette and jockey wheels after I've washed the bike, rub it clean using paper towel, then rinse the whole bike with water afterwards. I try to avoid getting any of it onto my gloss painted frame, but will solvent based degreasers dissolve the clear coat on my frame? I will always apply the MucOff Bike Protector Spray to the frame right at the end to remove any degreaser residues and to add shine.

I use this product: https://www.toolstation.com/wd-40-specialist-degreaser/p20321 which works wonders making my chain and cassette look new again. The MSDS sheet says it contains 15-25% methylethyl acetate.

always used Jizer everywhere and never had a problem. £20 for 5 litres. Can't be beaten.

advice is to check in an unoticeable part first with your degreaser and see what happens. they are all different.
