What cleaner do you use to clean grease on your bike?

DAWN Dish Detergent .. gentle and thorough enough to clean baby ducks covered by oil spills .. awesome on the bike without any chance of harm. My regular wash and wax is .. ICE .. by Turtle Wax, no spotting with the wash and wax can be used on anything. I keep a spray bottle with water and the wash in my saddle bag for doing my shield and helmet on the road ...

Can you at least get a sharper / more detailed picture of the package?

Dont use anything but kerosene. Your chain rings will get ruined in the long run with degreasers and stuff.

So you're saying that using products designed to clean motorcycle chains aren't good and only kerosene should be used?

Just an FYI, there have been some changes to the formula...

At the moment, and i stand to be corrected, it appears on the surface that the changes only affect the US products. I just went to Lowes and bought a tin of multi use and its exactly the same as the tin I bought over 12 months ago. The label is different to the labels in the wibbikeworld article and the Canadian label I'm reading says on the back "wax based lubricant". Now as I say I stand to be corrected but, unless I bought the brand new stuff last year and am comparing the same products, the wax based stuff hasn't lef tthe Canadian shelves.

Anyone any clearer than me on this?

Yes, because ultimately those products are kerosene based, so they do the exact same thing. Kerosene is just more efficient

Maybe some old stock, because my friends and I all have the new "Lubricant" version
