Finish Line Citrus BioSolvent Liquid

Excellent Product, but lost ~10 oz in shipping

This product is probably the best bicycle degreaser on the planet & I have been using it (or similar FL product) for about 20 years now. The gallon size just came in the mail today, so I'll be set for quite some time. However, about 10 oz. permeated thru the bottle top during shipping and saturated both the supportive product box and the outer UC shipment box. I might suggest UC open the product box and put a bit of saran wrap between the bottle and the screw-top lid before shipping in the event your "This Side Up" note is ignored by the shipper, as it was in this case. I'd also be surprised if my circumstances are unique considering the flimsy engineering of the main plastic container...

Pros: Cleans grime out from everywhere. Smells good enough to want to brush your teeth with it.

Cons: Gallon-sized product requires some serious TLC to get to your door with all 128oz in tact.

20 oz metal bottle - reseals nicely. Seems to break down grease and oil well and dries relatively quickly.

Has a nice citrus smell.

This is a good "light-weight" citrus degreaser. I use this in complement to the Pedros degreaser which is a very thick liquid. The thin stuff is better for tasks such as soaking a chain, whereas I prefer the Pedros for cassettes and cranks.

Great solvent. I love it. Doesn't stink, works great for a super dirty chain. I just drop the chain in a bottle throw some of this in there shake it up, rinse it off and presto months of rain and road grit gone.

Pros: smells good
cleans good
