This Benzine thing. It is Highly, highly carcinogenic.

Don't ever use the stuff for anything!!!!

Yes benzene is a known carcinogen but it is not the same as the benzine you buy in the supermarket. Note difference in spelling!

 

Benzine is a petroleum distillate which usually contains only a small amount of actual benzene. The one with the 'e' is the bad stuff but you can't easily buy it in pure form. Flammability of both is far more of a direct risk to you than the chance of getting cancer from it ..... both options are horrible so rather dont use either.

I use the Parktoolz biodegradable chain cleaner/degreaser. If i know where to find more of this stuff separate to the chain cleaning tool, I'll buy large quantities. This stuff is awesome!!

I've used Prepsol before and it's 4/10. This stuff gets 8/10 from me.

Do you dilute it?

Keep that away from your grass!

Parktool tool + Sunlight, works wonder.

By far the most economical, and no hassle with disposing of dangerous chemicals. Wont kill the lawn. Take the chain off, drop into an empty plastic bottle with with a few ml of Sunlight. Half fill with warm water, shake, rinse, dry with clean cloth, lube and fit. Should not take more than 5 min.

Got a 5l container of Prepsol.

I am not sure if they changed the formula, but oh my goodness, it is bloody useless. Even on the motorbike chain, useless.

Also got a clear liquid that cleans everything you can think of. Grease, oil you name it... But also useless. And same chain oil on all 3 chains as that I have always used.

Then what do you make use of to clean your chains?

 

Any opinions on muc-off or nam products?

[Cois]

Well, I will have to look for a product again. I will ask my dad what they use at the factory to get muck and grit off their equipment in the factory.

Will swing by a cycle shop and see what options they have and report back.
