Seem to remember something about this a while back. Terrific stuff but too expensive; what's the alternatives?

Just buy their FS1, rather than FS10. It's just FS10, but concentrated 10 times. Use your current empty FS10 bottle and dilute 1 part FS1 to 10 parts water and you have the same mix.

A litre bottle of FS1 is 9 quid or something, so works out a bargain.

places like wickes sell big containers of degreaser, probably similar. I don't find fenwicks that expensive though - bought a big thing of it from wiggle with a £5 off voucher

Edit: Oh I was referring to the neat stuff too.

Try and find a fiver off voucher for that - will last forever.

Apparently, the stuff they market as caravan cleaner is the same, but much cheaper.

Bought 5 litres of the FS1 a while back.
Great stuff and lasts forever!

5 litres of FS1 makes 50 when diluted.

Know a guy who works in the auto trade swears it's diluted road film remover. His bikes not disolved yet although he doesn't clean it that often

used fenwicks - good
muc off - good
some moto x bike cleaner off ebay - good and cheap

However - i am using a citrus degreaser for juice lubes called dirt-juice. Tis very good. Fully biodegradable as it is a proper citrus based cleaner. smells good too.
