[quote="twowheels"]The link you provided all say ready to use formula, we might just have caused a rush at repco auto!!!
I would suggest that most auto parts stores carry the citrus cleaners as I have recently purchased 5l from SuperCheap

Do those chain cleaners that you pedal through work very well?

If you mean one of these...
Yes they do. I've got one, but they tend to make a mess IMO, got any old towels?

I get a clean chain with minimal mess and no real bother. But hey, you lot can make hard work of it if you like

Nah, they cost money. I only waste money on bike accessories and occasionally food (the kids tend to get a bit whiney if I leave it too long between shops  )

Sometimes I use one of those, most of the time I take the chain off to clean it.

Staminda Jar and kero - put on lid, shake and repeat 3 times with clean Kero, and all of a sudden the chain is silver again !!!
Use last kero rinse to clean the clusters and chain ring as well.
