FINISH LINE Super Bike Wash, 1000 ml
Once the foam has set, the effect begins to take effect. Compared to the competition, the dirt doesn't come off quite as well with "Super Bike Wash" - we had to carry out a second wash cycle to remove all the dirt from our bike. This of course costs points.

MOTOREX Bike Clean, 500 ml
Motorex comes in a simple bottle and does not use bright colours. The product takes effect after 5 minutes at the latest - then you go over it with water and the dirt comes off the frame. It works very well. The product is less suitable as a chain and sprocket cleaner.

MUC-OFF Nano Tech Bike Cleaner, 1000 ml
With the Nano-Tech cleaner, you have to wet your bike before spraying it. After 3 to 5 minutes, the cleaner takes effect and you can start scrubbing with water. We liked the result, the dirt comes off well. Only the chain grease is difficult to get off. A little annoying: the spray head drips.

PEDROS Green Fizz, 1000 ml
The somewhat viscous product from Pedros foams particularly well. After a few minutes, you can go over it with water - with particularly good results. Hardly any dirt remains. Although the product does not officially contain a degreaser function, it also removes some of the chain gunk.

SQUIRT LUBE Organic Bike Wash, 500 ml
"Bio Bike Wash" works well. Spray it on, let it soak in, scrub with water and the dirt comes off. That's how it should be. Good: The concentrate can be diluted up to 15 times. It even works okay as a chain cleaner. Annoying: The spray lever is difficult to operate - this is a point deduction.
