This week I cleaned the bikes with White Lighting Dry Degreaser and it just didn't seem to cut through the dirt and grime easily. Before I always used a Finished Line spray that made all the grit just drip off. I really and to scrub to get the cassette and chainring clean this time. Is this how dry degreasers work or are they for after using a wet (?) degreaser to dry the components and keep from collecting as much grime?

BTW, what cleaners do you guys like to use? I use Park Tools citrus for the chain cleaner, prefer Finish Line Eco Degreaser, and Tri-Flow for re-lubing everything after it's cleaned.

Thanks!
