f***! its incredible, i know loads of people who rave about it, but i didnt realise it was THAT good... its lethal stuff - it kills all living creatures within a 200mile radius of use, but bloody nora, its amazing, my road bike was caked in grease and muck and this stuff has stripped it down to the metal... :o

10/10

I thought white lightning was a cheap white strong wine mostly used by down and out bums :)

Serious

White Lightning is a strong Cider - but you could probably also use it as an industrial strength cleaner I suppose ;)

I find paint thinner or kerosene to work very well, but they do require ventilation. I used to use a water based degreaser, but it was too hard on parts.

White lightning is seriously nasty stuff, its a very, very, very strong detergent by the sounds of it, i bet the stuff we use in the labs is less potent - but it does get the job done!

sounds crazy :D

I generally clean my bike quite often, so I find the ol warm soapy water and muc off does the job fine - an old toothbrush generally comes to a timely demise while doing the drivetrain, but its pure bling afterwards - shiny, bare metal :mrgreen:

I think Muc off is like kerosine or something, I sprayed some on a puddle of water and woosh, you see the surface tension recede fast and the shiny rainbowy colours floating all on top :) exactly like you see spilt petrol in puddles after it rains at fuel stations
