    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.

    geoffj – spotted the caravan cleaner the other day and wondered that as well. Dam sight cheaper than FS1

    the caravan stuff is different, its green and does not smell as nice as FS1

    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.
