My massive bottle of Fenwicks FS-1 cleaner is empty. What's the best value cleaner of choice for making frames shiny without losing paint when diluted, and able to shift thick gloop from chains when concentrated?

I have tried muc off and then Fenwick's and most recently juice lubes dirt juice super gnarl after struggling to get more Fenwick's. For me the Fenwick's has by far been the best and will be trying to get that again if its still being made?

I dont' know about value. But I am currently using Duck Smart and finding it good.

I find not cleaning the bike or using an old yard brush after the mud has dried is the cheapest.

I use the green Hope shifter stuff, I find it better than muckoff.
