Solid so far
by Anonymous

I've used this twice since purchasing. It foams up and turns red once applied. It rinses off fairly quickly and both times it eliminated a squeak from my front brakes. I am tired of removing my pads to scrub or sand and this enables me to quickly take care of the city grime while washing my entire bike.

It does smell quite bad, just in case that matters to you. I mostly use Muc-Off products which smell great, so this was jarring to me. But like I said, it seems like it works well and I would say the price is justified since you only need a few sprays per cleaning.

Works amazingly well, just spray on, let it set, brush it off, and all the crud washes off. Not toxic either like others.

A must to clean the drivetrain before chain waxing

Use this to clean the cassette, chain rings and jockey wheels before going to waxed chain. Spray on, let sit and use a stiff brush. Rinse in water. Repeat and the parts are oil free before going to a waxed chain. It does go from clear to bright red and foam up.

Pricey but works well

Makes cleaning the brakes & drivetrain a breeze. Obviously a little pricey, but one of the few products you can use for drivetrain as well as the disc brakes.

Pricey, but a great product

As with most Silca products, this is more expensive than the competition, but it works well. It is easy to use and very satisfying to watch it capture and remove dirt and grime.

Highly Effective

The reviews on Silca's website are true, this stuff works like magic. I do few quick sprays on cassette, rotors, and calipers and let it sit for several minutes. Light brushing on the cassette and then rinse everything with water. Water coming out of the calipers was black. Brakes no longer squeal and cassette is sparkling. Saves way more effort and time over any other cleaning protocol.

Amazing cleaner

The easiest, most effective drive train and brake cleaner I have used. Truly amazing how clean it gets the drive train and how easily, leaving the wax lube untouched. I can clean without worrying about over spray. The best maintenance product I have found for my bike.

Does the best job I have found for cleaning disc brakes and rotors, only time will tell. It is kinda pricy but we will see if I purchase a second bottle.
