SDoc 100 Motorcycle Gel Total Cleaner Review |
 |
 Now cleaning your motorbike is one of those chores that I’m sure many of us don’t enjoy, you’d rather be riding your bike than spending time cleaning it.There are a wide variety of products on the market that claim to make washing your motorbike less of a chore and get the road crud and chain oil off your pride and joy easily. So I have to say we were sceptical when yet another product in the form of SDoc 100’s Motorcycle Total Cleaner Power Gel with Material Protector was sent to us by those nice people at Motohaus for us to review. Particularly with a name like total cleaner power gel it has a lot to live up to. For your money you get a 1000ml spray bottle with sponge. Application is simple, you just spray the power gel all over your motorcycle (do not pre wet your machine or apply to hot surfaces) and leave for 5 minutes for the cleaner to react. The spray comes out as bubbly foaming gel and the spray bottle gives an easy to apply spray pattern from the spray applicator. It is claimed to be totally non-corrosive though the instructions do say test on an inconspicuous area of your motorbike before use. In fact the formulation includes a material protector which actually protects sensitive materials such as dark plastic, paintwork, anodised parts and aluminium and regular use is supposed to reduce bleaching of paintwork and plastic that occurs over time. So we left the power gel on the test bike having taken the few minutes to try and make sure we covered every square inch of the bike with the gel. The spray jet is great for getting the cleaner in places you can’t normally get your hands with a sponge or brush. Our test bike was a BMW 1200 GS which can be difficult to clean with all the nooks and crannies and inaccessible bits. It can normally take an hour with a plethora of different size brushes and a sponge to get all the bike spot loss and the lower engine case fins on the test bike had with time blackened with engrained road grime. For those of you who have chain drive the formulation includes an active grease solvent formula that removes flung off chain grease.   After five minutes we just hosed the bike off with a strong water jet and as if like magic we had a gleaming, clean bike. No scrubbing with brushes or even using the supplied sponge and best of all the blackened engine case fins had returned to their original silver colour. The whole process took barely 10 minutes in total.The instructions do say in the case of extreme soiling you can leave the product on your motorbike for up to 30 minutes and agitate with the supplied sponge. It’s rare to find a cleaning product that is as good as this, but we were amazed at how simple, quick and effective the S Doc100 Motorcycle Gel Total Cleaner. You don’t even need to dry the bike off if you don’t want too as this product allows the bike to dry without spotting. Now this product may not be the cheapest motorbike cleaner out there, but you get a quality product that does what it claims.   Now just think you can spend much more time riding your bike and less time cleaning it with SDoc100 Motorcycle Gel Total Cleaner which has to make it worth the money! It is even supposed to reduce re-soiling and help keep your bike cleaner for longer.S Doc100 Motorcycle Gel Total Cleaner is priced at £16.20 including VAT for a 1000ml bottle and is available from Motohaus Powersports.
