Fenwicks FS1 Bike Cleaner 1 Litre Bottle

Loved by bike mechanics up and down the country, Fenwick's FS-1 is a superb 2 in 1 bike degreaser and cleaner that offers unbeatable performance and value for money. It is produced using only the most biodegradable, environmentally friendly raw materials available. For use as a bike degreaser: in its concentrated form, FS-1 can be applied straight onto the drivetrain, agitated after a minute or two, and washed off with a hose pipe - no need for a jet wash and the results are sparkling. For use as a bike cleaner: FS-1 can be diluted with 10 parts water, providing an extremely effective, deep cleansing action for the whole bike. It then washes off with ease and leaves a superior, residue-free finish. FS-1 contains no aggressive ingredients and therefore, can be used every day without causing any damage to the finish of your frame or components. It is safe for use on: hubs, headsets, pivot points, disc brakes, rims, shock units, aluminium, steel, carbon fibre, composites, plastics, decals and rubber.

Effective and versatile.
Pros: High Quality, Rugged, Versatile
Cons: Limited Color Choices
"Used neat Fenwicks FS1 is a very effective degreaser for your drivetrain. Pour it into Finish Line Chain Cleaner, attach to your chain and a few reverse turns of the pedals later, perfectly clean chain.
I've also used Fenwicks diluted at approx 10:1 ratio to clean bikes made from alloy, titanium, steel and, more recently, carbon fibre. It doesn't clean any better than its competitors, but it is better value for money. It's not corrosive, smells nice and is an effective and versatile product offering terrific value for money."

10 out of 5 star product
Pros: Great Value, High Quality
"We all like to lubricate. It is easy and takes no time. When I have to clean my the mess before lubricating, I do not have any other product in mind. Spray or use a sponge and rinse after 4-10 mins max. and thats it. This product does what promises to do and much better.
A highly recommended product."

Is there anything else?
Pros: Great Value, High Quality, Versatile
"This tuff is great! As a concentrate you can use it at 100% as a chain cleaner of dilute as a cleaning agent rather than having to buy two bottles - "two bottles, you must be joking"
I've been using it for years and never had any issues with side effects on paintwork unlike some other products - havent bought anything else now for years!"

Great product
Pros: High Quality
"Needing a proper bike cleaner for my park chain cleaner and reading all the great reviews of this product I thought I'd give it a go.
I used it neat in the chain cleaner and diluted it one to ten in a garden spray bottle for the rest of the bike. It worked amazingly. The chain came up like new and I finally managed to get the grease off the chainrings. The carbon frame came up very nicely with the spray as well as getting all the black off the rims from braking.
Already recommended to a friend who has bought a bottle."

Pros: Great Value, Attractive, High Quality, does what it says it does
"Want a sparkling chain set and frame? This stuff renders old,scraggy, grime encased bikes back to their former shop front glory. Cheap(ish), easy to use and non corrosive. The only thing I am not sure about is whether this is harmful to the environment so there might be greener versions out there. Otherwise this is a top buy.
You will need cleaning tools to ensure you get the best out of this, especially if you are wanting the chain to be clean.

Bike cleaner
"I applied this without dilution with a paint brush to my drive train to clean off the oil and grit that had accumulated on my road bike during the winter. Used about 20 mL removed all but the most hardened deposits. Apply, leave for 20 minutes or so and wash off. Do remember to apply lubricant to chains (etc)."

"Really good stuff and the only cleaner I'll use. Make sure you spray it on and leave it a while before you go in with the brush or rinse. An occasion to have a lovely cup of tea while it does it's magic."

bike cleaner
Pros: Great Value, High Quality, best cleaner
"if you are fed up of trying to clean your bike and just find you are mioving the dirt around and have to use a new toothbrush or brush every couple of minutes this is the stuff.
incredibly effective, cuts through all g rease and oil on the bike providing a clean shine and resistant coating.
the bottle says to dilute the concentrate and would make 11 litres, at this price my tip is to pour a little of the concentrate out into a smaller container and then continually dip the brush into it then use warm water to rinse the bike, this has amazing effect.
have just bought two one for me one for a good friend, amazing stuff

Quick and easy cleaning
Pros: quick
Cons: Expensive
"I HATE cleaning the bike, only slightly less than I HATE replacing prematurely worn components. Using Fenwicks as directed (dilute, spray on liberally, rinse) works so well it almost makes the job fun (almost). So much quick to do it takes alot of the burden out of the task.
I tend to get through it quite quickly so it is quite expensive but worth it if only because it encourages me to actually wash the bike."

"Fenwicks FS1 is so versatile. Use it neat straight from the bottle in a chain cleaner or for cleaning components or dilute it 10:1 for general cleaning of your bike and accesories. Excellent on a cloth for cleaning frame after maintenance."
