Where to get cheap bike care products? (shampoo, wax, etc)

[Kazuma]

besides the wax shampoo, anyone knw how to remove the stains on the sprockets?

 

maybe you can try my way.

use 20 cents of desial and mix with water.

use a paint brush and cut it short to make it hard.

use the brush wif the mixture and brush on the sprocket.

When all the dirt are being removed, use soap to wash off the previous mixture, last of all lube your chain when it is dry.

when u use kerosene or watever magic solution u can lay ur hands on, u can reuse the dirtied kerosene to brush the sprocket and it will work that dirt out.

ermm, wads a desial?

Ok!..... There is a shell petrol kiosk sharing inside a building. The shell sits beside a small lane coming out of the end of ERP area. That building also has a front shop that sells scooters parts and acessories. That car care shop is below the scooter part shop. Catch the ball?

[roger]

[hmm_]

[roger]

Erm.... every part lor... That includes my box and rim!

[hmm_]

To clean rim, the cheapest method I know of:

 

Buy $0.10-0.20 cents of dissel (can use very long liaoz), mix with water, then use a sponge to clean the rim wif the mixture. Once done, use shampoo or soap water to rinse off the dissel mixture.

 

Cheap, good and really clean.

[s01422152]

for me i just use the wash and wax shampoo for cars by autoglaze (i think the brand is that...cant recall n not at home now also...)

 

and for pipe after washing use autosol to polish...

 

thinking of getting wax to wax my bike... but dont know what brand is good... maybe will get the same brand as the shampoo... cuz i feel it'll be better... just like hair care.. use the shampoo of this brand then gotta use the conditioner of that same brand... LOL!

[roger]

It depends on wat kinda stain u r talking abt... If its normal brake dust and dirt... The shampoo works fine. But if u are toking abt rear rim stain caused by flings from chain lube, then Chaicka had sugg the best way...

Guys,

 

Would like to introduce the Kenco Polishing Cloth.

It's soft and it's good to use for polishing...Give it a try and see if u like it.

 

I have been using it for wiping and buffing of wax...it gives a very good effect. Another product that's good, but more expensive will be the Mr. Clean polish disposable paper...that, I am still sourcing out.
