Last ride on the steelie this week, wash up time

Today was the last ride on the ST1.0 for this week. Everyride has been wet & muddy so it was time for its first proper wash down. I have been using Fenwicks cleaning products for many years. I buy the Fenwicks undiluted cleaner and dilute it down to make the FS-10. Its very good value as the one litre bottles were half price last year! Simple to use, gently hose off the mud build up, squirt some FS-10 on everything. Leave it for a few minutes then start to wash the bike. I also use the FS Foaming Degreaser, i have used this since it first came out onto the market a few years ago and have not used anything different since. Depends on how much grease/grime to are trying to remove sometimes i put on a second application. The foam stays in place and unlike liquid degreasers tends not to go all over the place and waste it. After that i dry the bike off and squirt some GT85 over the mechs and some Finishline lube on the chain. Thats it ready for some more offroad miles.
