Hozelock Pump Thingy

[Lonewolf]

Ok, not directly connected to a GTR but it might come in handy.
Halfords £25, pump it and spray it and watch the muck just run away. Almost forgot, its guaranteed for two years as well so thats a bonus.

Hi LW
Yes those pumpy things really do work, I bought one from a garden centre a couple of years ago, for spraying the plants. The one I have, not only a good length of hose, but it also came with a lance which you can get right into the awkward place to clean leave for a couple of minutes then rinse :
I got mine for the car, but I use on the bikes aswell

Cheers Sidders

Sidders, hi, what do you put in yours? Mucoff or some other product?

[Mogster]

I use whatever M and P has on a two fer one at the show.... brings the patio up a treat... TBH the best stuff is the castrol gel type as it stays on the bike and off the drive till rinsed

[viper]

now thats a good idea

I have had something similar for the last 3 or 4 years and use it to spray on diluted Muck off onto the bike, the lance is great for getting into those hard to reach places.  and as other have said a leave a few minutes before washing off.

I have a simular pump spray thingy, which is for spraying garden fence paint, so it'd be no good for use on the bike now, unless someone wants to borrow it to change their bike to a nice Foret Green colour, as it says on the tin 

The squirty bottles which come with MucOff product are very good but I reckon the pump action job would be even better...I may just give that a go,


p.s my GTR is already Green

And you do OWN a GTR too!

hang on a mo'.....I'll just check the Rev Shed to see if there's one out there









I'm back

Yup got one  ... nice and green it is too.......[    [/b]

Mr Wolf ...  that is exactly what I am after .... what % dilution do you use with for instance  Muc Off ?

[Lonewolf]

Rusty, currently I have used it neat, but I will dilute it probably 70/30, 30% being the water. I'll see how that performs and then I might dilute it further providing it still does its job.
Mucoff is quite expensive, I can buy a 5ltr container of it for £10, the usual price is £20 but I think the best option is to buy TFR, traffic film remover which you can usually buy in 25ltr or 200ltr tubs. This is considerably cheaper, I think mucoff is too expensive compared with some of the more widely available TRF's.

[Rusty]

Thanks Steve ... I usually hose the bike off, then apply MO neat, leave it for a while then brush and sponge it all over .. but I like the idea of the big spray 

[Lonewolf]

Rusty I only got it a few days ago so I've only used it once. The bike was filthy and yet all the muck just run off. Much easier that struggling to get in small gaps with a wet sponge.

Up to Halfords for me tomorrow then

Hi LW,
All I tend to use is a mixture of Car shampoo and water. The pump container is quite large so I just put a couple of inches of shampoo top up with water pump it like chuff :banana:and off you go
Nothing too technical
