Muc-Off Übershine Luxury Shampoo
 “Übershine made a big impression from the
minute we opened the cap” New to our car wash test, Übershine made a big
impression from the minute we opened the cap - as the citrus apple aroma is very
strong. The shampoo is also thicker than most rivals and according to the
recyclable pack, biodegradable, too. What appealed to us was the inclusion of
the formula of 'engineered water softeners', which are designed to give a
spot-free finish. They certainly work, as the Muc-Off proved more than a match
for all but our winner, easing water away to the point where the panel was
virtually dry".

 ...believe it or not Auto Express found Muc-Off works on car seat covers.
After various tests Muc-Off performed well against the toughest stains:
“Muc-Off got it virtually perfect” - Halfords Protective with a Nylon construction
“It was untraceable after the Muc-Off treatment” - SCS Italia with a Polyester construction
“Disappeared after an application of Muc-Off” - Cosmos 310551 with 60% acrylic / 40% other fibres
“Muc-Off removed virtually every trace” - Cosmos 310549 with a Polyester construction
The Test
The first test was how well each cover fitted our sample Ford Fiesta seat. There was plenty of variation here, ranging from distinctly lacking in length to ominously oversized. In many cases instructions were not included or necessary, but where they were provided we expected them to be clear and concise. Then we looked at how well the covers would stand up to nasty stains and general rough treatment. We brewed up a mixture of light oil, mud and tobacco ash and smeared a patch on to each cover. We then tried to remove it first by wiping it, then by using Muc-Off, which is sold through Halfords as a cycle cleaner but also does a great job of cleaning oil off fabrics. To see how well the covers would stand up to 'snagging' we dragged a wire brush across the squab.

Muc-Off Optix Pack
 This year's braveheart ride was muddy. or at least parts of it were, along with masses of isle of wight ferry* all over the farm roads. The only cyclists who were spared the mess all over clothes and glasses were Sean Kelly and Brian Smith, and that only because they suffered mechanicals within a very short distance. and having spent about forty-five minutes today cleaning the dried-in gloop off the company colnago, it's perhaps not that surprising that the ruddy projects suffered a similar fate.
However, cleaning crud off a carbon frame with a sponge and soapy water is not quite the technique you want when attempting to shine precision optics suffering a thin film of the brown opaque stuff. In my case, this is even more of a kid gloves operation because the rudys have the rx clip-in insert so that I can actually see where I’m going. Scratches I do not want, because as time moves along, these are only going to get more numerous.
However, a solution (pardon the pun) is at hand from x-lite sub company, muc-off, in the shape of their optix pack. This cleverly consists of a neat hard plastic, zipped case containing a small spray bottle of lens cleaner and a particularly generous, soft cleaning cloth along and an instruction card. There’s a plastic tagged, muc-off monogrammed zip that ought to be easy enough to open even with gloved hands, and a clip hook (carabiner) on the back to allow affixing to a belt or rucksack loop. The container does not open fully, but has elastic mini straps holding front and back together, thus stopping those potentially awkward moments when you unzip and everything falls into the mud/road/water/whatever.
The biodegradable cleaning solution is applied to the lenses by a pump action spray from the 35ml bottle (refills are available) then polished to a streak-free finish with the soft black cloth. On this occasion, the cleaning power and lack of streaks was so impressive, that I cleaned my regular specs as well. It’s amazing what you can see with clean lenses. Recommended price is £11.99 which is probably a heck of a lot less than you paid for the 'bins' in the first place.
Unreservedly recommended - does exactly what it says on the box.
