cadenceblur Posted December 16, 2021 Share Hi Guys Anyone ever use this product? Dirt cheap R34 for a bottle. 2 mates have used it and are raving about its effectiveness and ease of use. Almost sounds too good to be true, I'm just wondering about its suitability for bicycles. I generally use Namgear with great results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burger 555 Posted December 16, 2021 Share It works like a bomb. Had stubborn stickers on a old car I purchased and could not get the glue residue off. Tried everything from petrol to thinners, turpentine, parrafin and eventually decided to just wash the car with blixem to get all the chemicals off and saw the glue disolving. Awesome product Danie_1407 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vetseun Posted December 16, 2021 Share Amazing shite! I honestly dont think you could get getter. From a dirty bike to mildew in the shower. Grease stains on clothes to kitchen stains. As for grease on your hands. Our house is beeeeg on blixsem Danie_1407, Scary Rider and Barry 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted December 16, 2021 Share It’s cheap because it’s a water based degreaser as opposed to a solvent based. The MSDS says it’s a highly alkaline solution,with a possibility of caustic soda being one of the ingredients. I pay R70 for 5L from work (company branded product), so even cheaper than this product. I dilute it 1:50 for all purpose use. Just make sure you dilute it 1:30 as per the label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtypot Posted December 17, 2021 Share I've been using this for a few months now and have been quite impressed. For chains its not as effective as solvent based degreaser, but it more than makes up for that by being water based so your hands don't feel all icky after using it, plus the stones under where I wash bikes which have always been black from the greasy chains and solvent degreaser have actually started to change colour back to their normal state without me doing anything to them. The Blixem is just dribbling onto them and making them cleaner. Same for the chain cleaner - it started to look newer the more I used it. But best of all, at Midas there was a Blixem sales guy and he gave me five extra normal sized bottles of the other products in the range for free when I bought a 5 litre degreaser. Bargain! It also gets the wife stamp of approval for cleaning around the house. cadenceblur and Hairy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shebeen Posted December 17, 2021 Share always wondered what happened to Karem Bliksem, clearly writing naughty letters in the press got boring and she hooked up with a dirty mechanic. mazambaan and Hairy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
