I begrudgingly have to admit it's good stuff but I have this bug up my arse about them as a company don't ask me why ? 🤔 So any other options besides furniture polish 🙄 I find a wipe over the frame with it helps stop mud sticking amongst other things .

Finish Line Pro Detailer (if you can find it, it's not widely stocked).

Or, considerably cheaper, AutoGlym do a Silicone Spray. Most car and hardware stores stock it.

There are cheaper and better alternatives to anything Muc Off branded. Added bonus is that you’re not giving money to Muc Off....

I really rate the Juice Lubes frame juice. Good stuff, and it's in their 3-for-2 offer on their website.

I know you already mentioned furniture spray but I use Mt sheen on my CX bike for normal raises. When it got really glaggy last season I was using baby oil on the bike and my legs. Worked well.

Halfords do an own brand silicone spray. WD40/GT85 and 3in1 do their own equivalents

I've bought silicone spray from toolstation and lidl for two or three quid, is there a difference or is it typical bike industry calling it bike specific, inflating the price and mugging us off.

Any silicon will do the job. Once mainly used Juice Lubes Fork or Frame Juice, but cheap non-bike stuff works just as well and it much cheaper

Why the Muc Off hate? Are they in the keeping kids underground to stay young conspiracy?

This stuff does just as good a job on my bikes as it does on my cars, however it is a lot of money just to use on the bike.
