£8.96 | www.sweeneymotorfactors.co.uk | 0035 3749 162048 | Tested by: John Milbank, Editor Motorcycle Sport & Leisure magazine I hate not having this stuff to hand in the garage – it’s all too easy to blast through a can when cleaning particularly filthy chains and brakes, and if I’m stripping calipers it’s vital – so I…
