Finish Line Citrus Bike Degreaser – Biodegradable, Non-Toxic Formula with Orange Peel Extracts, Penetrates Deep and Dilutes for Versatile Cleaning, 1 Gallon

I have used this brand for years and it works really well. I tried this packaging hopefully to save some material and waste, but the top is not a screw top that you can’t put a spray head on. You just empty this can into another bottle if you want to spray. Just seams like a missed opportunity.

Great product at a reasonable price

WOW, this stuff really works. I accidently used motorcycle chain lube on my bicycle chain, and man that stuff is STICKY and NOT meant to be used on bicycles. I soaked the chain, cassette, and derailleur in this stuff, brushed it slightly, and rinsed it off and they were as good as new. It also smells nice.

I don't know if it's better than any other citrus degreaser which might come at a lower price, but it does work and it works better than I expected it to. Obvious use is in Finish Line's chain cleaner, but I also used a little bit on a rag to wipe down some other components which had built up a bit of grime after a summer of riding. I was surprised at how easily and how well it cleaned everything. I guess I expected this to be a watered down product so as to be more "friendly" to bike parts should someone use a bit too much and degreased things which should have stayed greased. Not so. It's a very good, powerful degreaser. Use with caution around greased parts on a bike (idler gears, bearings, etc.). Otherwise, expect it to clean things up nicely.

I've always liked Finish Line Degreaser, but after switching to wax-based bike chain lube, I wasn't sure what chain degreaser to chose to clean my gunked-up chain. I went back to this product after talking to a well-informed, patient representative from Finish Line Company, and I'm very pleased with the results. I keep switching to different well-tested new wax lubes, and I wanted to start using a new lube that shows great promise. Rather than removing my chains, I used this in conjunction with a pre-degreasing with three rounds of mineral spirits in a good chain cleaning tool, then this excellent product, followed by denatured alcohol to dry the chain and remove any residue. I'm quite happy with the results. I think this is an outstanding degreaser in my experience.

This stuff just plain works. I highly recommend it because it is quick, easy, relatively inexpensive, and voraciously effective. I'm tossing out my Park Tool/Citrus Chain Bright kit for this. I first used it on a chain that saw 200 miles of trails/commuting during three months of rain, snow, and mush. I shot a quick burst on every link, with a rag directly underneath, then rinsed the same way with a spray bottle of distilled water. The wash rag turned pitch black but the rinse rag absorbed hardly any grime. In the name of science I repeated the whole process. The second time around, there was literally nothing left: the second wash and rinse rags came out completely clean. Also, completely cleaned the cassette in about ten seconds, with zero scrubbing. No kidding, it takes longer to brush your teeth than to clean your chain with this stuff. Due respect to the other reviewer, but the spray is fairly high-pressure and the spray angle is wide enough angle that you have to keep the nozzle and chain less than a centimeter apart. That is good because the force of the spray drives the fluid into nooks and crannies and blasts out liquefied gunk. That's bad in that it seems to require an excessive amount fluid, meaning your rag will get soaked, you should wear gloves, and you should be careful about drips and errant spray). It might be better if this came with a straw to pinpoint the spray. But relative to the overall strengths, this is a very small complaint.

Quickly removes all grease/grime/grunge/dirt with little fluid in no time. Works well on any application, not just bikes. For instance, cleaning greasy oven hood, motor parts....

I really like this product for cleaning my bike chain. I filled a spray bottle with the degreaser and that helped a lot with applying it to hard to reach places on my bike, such as the chains and cogs when I do not want to take apart the whole drivetrain. The scent is very nice and does not reek of chemicals. The cleaning action is great and works quickly. I was able to use this degreaser to also take off some really caked on rust on chains. Would buy again, and am very pleased with this purchase!
