    I’ve long been an advocate of this for many applications.

    I’m sure I read on here the recipe has changed? Can I no longer use it with the gay abandon I one enjoyed?

    It’s definitely different. More opaque in the container than the one sitting in my garage.

    It’s a yellow colour now. Still works just as well.

    It’s done a great job of cleaning my chainset, cassette and chain after four days on the KAW.

    There was some intimation of a worry about plastics and the ability for them to withstand the new recipe.

    Just wanted to ask if folk had found any issues.

    I’ve used the old stuff for years and never had an issue.

    I’m still using it in the same manner.  Seems fine

    If you have Prime then another option is this 5L bottle of Gunk on Amazon for £10.45. I use it for all things bike and find it just as good as the old Screwfix version.

    I’ve used the Screwfix degreaser in the past but I changed to paraffin about 12 months ago, it’s much better than the Screwfix degreaser but it does stink a bit!

    You can re-use the paraffin over and over again, I just pour it in an old milk bottle and let the dirt settle to the bottom before re-using it.

    I think I paid about £10 for 5L but it’s lasted about 12 months and I’m only half way through!
