Cheers Sale is for the 500ml spray bottle + free 500ml flip top bottle for R35. My Midas had run out of stock of the free 500ml bottle, so gave it a skip.

Ā Over use of degreaser certainly can be a costly affair .... Ā Again, 30 years ago most of us used parafin as a cleaner. Ā At the time many even added a cup to a bucket of water when washing the car. Ā It certainly was an all purpose product. Ā NO, it is not a bad product. Ā Ā That said, over the years many new products have been developed ... some better than others. Ā Currently products such as those from NamGear is used by many good bike shops. Ā Ā I for one am following this thread to hear the medium and longer term feedback from DnD and similar experienced people on the Blixem product.

Mojoman Posted January 16, 2022 Share I suppose it depends what you do with that dirty old paraffin.... Hopefully not chucking it down the drain.... š Ā Hairy and ChrisF 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ā I see you stay in Dundee...I did a few years a DHS back in the 80s....(I stayed in Dannhauser) Isnt there a co-op there? I use a cheap red water soluble degreaser from them...Its around R120 a liter and you just dilute it...works great. Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
