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

[firestorm_33]

any suggestion for chrome polish? which brand where to buy?

 

lots of places have; petrol ksioks and super market mainly turtle wax ones,.... for other brands u can go to hypercoat at loyang or autobacs

 

Umm, is it okay to use car shampoo to wash my bike? I bought a 1L bottle of Waxco Wash & Wax Car Shampoo at JP ntuc just now..

 

no prob. can be use for bike.

 

i googled online and found that autosol metal polish was highly recommended, but then some of our forum-users think otherwise. I just bought a tube to try out. Hopefully nothing goes wrong. :x

 

just don't use it too often should be ok

[littlereddevil]

just wanna ask if there is a difference of prices between buying it in the petrol kiosk than bike shops and if it is available overseas like malaysia?

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

Carrefour is good for that.

Ever finding troublesome to oil the chain, clean the rim? WHEEL JOCKEY is the ultimate solution at much affordable price compared to buying paddock stands. It is also user friendly and reduce risk of bike falling.

some reviews said dun use kerosene while some said can.... think end of the day, it's up to individual..... i use a degreaser or GT85.....

[solskkhai]

where can i get a good degreaser?

u can shop for industrial degreaser at homefix or giant... but do note that they are pretty strong hence advise to wear glove while using. personally i using duragloss ultimate orange which is also a degreaser but more hand friendly.

i see. if can, remove the calipers and spray using the industrial degreaser and wait a min before brushing. if still cannot remove, then likely already eat inside liao

hi,

 

where's the cheapest place to buy Maxima chain lube?

 

thanks!

I use water to clean off the dirt, waxco clean and polish for first wax, and formula1 carnauba wax for second wax.

 

Waxco - around $3.60 per bottle + free sponge

Formula1 - around $12 per bottle

 

Waxco one isn't that effective as a wax, so I treat it as a cleaner. Formula1 is better, at least can last 1 week without leaving any patch of water droplet from rain. Still feel smooth after 3 weeks.

 

I wash bike every 3 weeks , so these are good enough for me.

autobacs @ kaki bukit area. wide collection of different brands.

Gmax had a pre christmas sale for most of their products and I bought quite a handful of their teknocleaner for cleaning the chain. Gosh it cleans the chain like sweet victory baby! Just looking at those grease n debris dripping down from the chain just gives me the sense of satisfaction.
