Does it’s job
Seems like it tackles the dirt and grime just fine. Although you do have to use quite a bit of spray so this will get expensive over time. I will try iPone next.

Cleans chain really well and works well with their off road chain lube. Impressive.

Excellent chain cleaner
This is an excellent chain cleaner at a reasonable price. There is no point oiling a chain unless it is cleaned first. This makes it easy.
It is also handy for removing oil stains from the garage floor.

It cleans, but nothing impressive...
As the title says, it cleans, but I wouldn't say it's impressive... I'll give kerosene a try next time. At least, it'll be a lot cheaper for just cleaning.

Does the job
A little on the expensive side, thus the 4 stars.
Works well in conjunction with a decent chain brush and you can stretch the can further.

Lasts Forever
I see reviews that people have had difficulties with the product lasting, I personally spray it on my chain, let it side then use a shop towel to agitate the chain and get all the grime off. Really good product, will always support motul.

Questions
How does this clean the chain when direction say to spray on and let dry. Where does the crud go?
Spray on chain and let dry for 5 minutes.
If the chain is very dirty, brush with a non abrasive brush an spray again.
Lubricate the chain with MOTUL Chain Lube.
To increase the lifespan of the chain, repeat every 1000 km.

Does that cleaner cleans all type of chain lube (i.e grease and wax based?)
Yes, it would clean all types of chain lube. It contains Petroleum, Butane, Propylene and Monobutyl Ether. It is intended to clean all types of motorcycle chains (street bikes/off-road bikes), also Quads and Go-Karts. It has strong degreasing power and is suitable for chains with O-ring, X-ring and Z-ring. I use it on my CBR and it makes the chain look like new!
