Well, if it ruins the finish of your powder coated parts as well as Muc Off, the only thing going for it is that you can ruin them cheaper!

I used the asda one once and it just strips the paint luckily it was on an old pushbike
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

Well, It hasn't ruined the finish of any of the powder coated parts I've had done.

Wd40 on a cloth for the chain residue on the back wheel.

Washing up liquid in a bucket of water.

Mr sheen at a £1 a can for the paintwork.

Spray on the Mr sheen to set paintwork and buff .

It will try streak free.
Tolerance will be our undoing.
