    Re: Best Bike Shampoo

    Even I was not sure about using a hair-shampoo. I used it as the Waxpol bottle got emptied.
    I visited Wellington last Saturday and visited 4-5 shops but they don't stock Sonax or Formula 1. Only Waxpol and some local brands(I'm not sure about the quality of those and the bottle and sticker itself was of very cheap and amateur).
    A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.

        But how can be you so sure that the stuff sold on e-bay is genuine, infact what i have came to know that these online sites also sell fake products.

          Although you have made a choice on eBay now, a friend recommended Johnson&Johnson Baby shampoo in case I run out of my car shampoo. That shampoo has the least amount of chemicals(Even the ones in it are safe enough for a baby's head, so a bike would be safe I presume)

          I have been using Pidilite's Motomax shampoo for past one year and am pretty satisfied with it. One bottle worth ₹50 lasts 5-7 washes, which seems good to me. Moreover, it's available easily at most stores.

            I know. But I took a chance because I couldn't find it elsewhere. Got the product a few days back. Did one wash only till date. Result is good so far. Will post more updates later.

                Absolutely! Two washes till now and I'm satisfied. Despite doing it's job of cleaning well, it's surprisingly mild.

                  Have done 4 washes till date. Does the job pretty nicely. I'd recommend it to everyone with similar requirements.

                    Re: Best Bike Shampoo

                    After 11-12 washes till date, I can say the product is genuine and definitely good. I recommend this to everyone with similar needs.

                          The fragrance is awesome in this 3M.. I applied this using a sprayer in bottle , I did see muddy water after spraying indicating it works good.
                          Then I waxed it, bike is new as ever.

                            Sorry for the late reply.
                            Formula 1 is better imo. The cleaning properties are better and the shine it gives after the wash - is awesome. Also, it's not too heavy on the paint.

                              Isn't washing your bike at the bike wash a better option? I do it once, sometimes twice a week. There too use clinic plus

                                I need suggestions regarding bike shampoos. I have been using Waxpol shampoo for more than 15 months on my SS-125 and was pretty satisfied with the result. Now, I have to buy a new one and open for any suggestions regarding any alternatives. I have done a little research on my part and have came across names like Formula 1, Amway etc. but have not been able to come to a conclusion till date as I myself have not used any of them.
                                Please suggest as I don't want to spend too much and at the same time don't want the paint damaged due to a sub-standard product. Thanks in advance!
                                I am using the clinic plus (blue color one) for the past 8 years(bike and car) and it washes the bike(car) well(how i use it make a foam with one sache,wash with it and then other sache with the hand rub on the painted parts of the bike and then wash it with water jet..voila. you have clean bike.)
                                No replacement for an engine Displacement
