    Yebbut some people just HAVE to keep their silly meme alive.
    FWIW a mate of mine has a fleet of trucks costing over 200K each.
    He goes around them all every weekend with a pressure sprayer of
    TFR followed by one of those fancy diesel heated pressure washers.
    It must take at least 5 minutes to spray all round an artic rig
    before he follows with the washer and his trucks go out looking
    nice and clean on monday with no damage.
    OTOH he does not allow TFR to be used on his aluminium bodied
    tipper trailer because it can react and leave it looking
    streaky unless used with care.

    It's brilliant, but dont let it dry on alloy, it marks & it also melts
    tarmac!

    TFR, which is basically what Muc-Off is, attacks the nice polished
    finish you get on KTM RC8 swingarms in a very short space of time, but
    it will polish out eventually. DAMHIKTIJDOK

    Halfords had a good deal on recently: £2 a can when bought with any
    pushbike accessory.

    Last time here it was £4 with any cycle accessory - I got away with calling
    one can an accessory and getting another for £4 - next time they offer at £2
    its a puncture outfit & £10 worth of GT85.
