from the bike, this stuff was working and after liberally applying to every inch we were done. Let’s wait. Fifteen minutes later and time to hose off. With nothing more than regular hose pressure the Motomuck came off and with it almost all the dirt … perhaps the cleanest this bike has been for a very long time. The verdict, Motomuck is good, even good enough to be considered one of the best cleaners around, if not a little expensive at AU$18.95 for one litre which is good enough for two and half bikes. Motomuck say their product is safe on vehicles; non-caustic, acid free and with no abrasives, to fade or damage paint, plastic and chrome. They also say that it builds a protective layer, that increases with continued use. We can’t confirm either way, but we do know it works at cleaning the bike – this split image of the GS demonstrates that – no scrubbing, no brushing, just spray and hose. Motomuck was started by Hylton Pause in 2009, frustrated with not being able to find a suitable product that not only cleaned but protected his beloved vehicles. A lot of testing and Hylton found what he was looking for; he’d created it, the original Motomuck Cleaner. Hylton dragged in the rest of his family and a company and production line was born, right in the garage of the family home in New Zealand. Motomuck is still based in Auckland, New Zealand yet also has a base in Brisbane, Australia. If you’re going to try Motomuck perhaps look at the 20-litre drum, you’ll save yourself a fortune and won’t be disappointed.
