I've used CT-18 for ages on the moto and now on the MTB as well. One part CT-18 to four parts water in a squeegy bottle, then after wetting the bike with hose, spray it all over with the CT-18. Set the hose to "tiny dribble" and wipe over everything with a cloth and dribble of water. Rinse well, and done
This means you can buy it in the regular 4litre container which is around $40 for 4 litres, rather than the hose attachment bottle which is around 50% more expensive per litre. And I think it would do a better job when water pressure alone doesn't shift the dirt.
Either way though it's great stuff and I've never noticed any deterioration on the dirtbike from using it for 3+ years (it has painted bits too).
p.s. Milo goes well on ice cream

Ive been using CT18 for over 15 years on my mountain bikes, never had to replace seals, no paint fade etc. I put a small amount in a spray bottle add water, apply to a wet bike then hose down after 2 beers. I do this after every ride wether my bike is filthy or not, a clean bike is a fast bike.

Milo has the best marketing team ever. Who ever convinced the mums of Australia that something that is mostly sugar is good for their kids should get the legend of the millennium award

Little bit.
Nah, of course it's good for you. Sugar mixed with particles of vitamins. Hey, I mean you could get the same vitamins in fruit/vege but they don't taste like chocolate do they.
We used to spray on dry with an air compressor, leave to set up, then high pressure hose off - on motorcycles. Nil labour involved though, awesome stuff. Yes of course avoid anything involving sealed/semi sealed lubrication as it will thin and degrade any and all greases, oils etc. Can attack thinning or degraded clearcoat too...

Some of you may have seen some of the older RawNRG hire bikes getting around with bronzey-brown coloured rims a few years back... They used to be black and you can guess what changed them..
My brother has an ex- RawNRG hire bike and it has none of this mentioned.
I always thought the bronze/brown coloured components just just simple fading. My first mountain bike was a Mongoose and the black hubs, skewer ect faded to bronze, i only ever washed it with water. No different to a friend of mines bike.

Good call, that's why it shouldn't be used on bicycles. Just get a brush and rubthe dirt ff your frame, then use Mr. Sheen on a rag, then lubricate. Lot's more work involved.
I used to use CT18 diluted on my motorbikes with no problems, but they're not bicycles, which have sissy little light seals in comparison.
