Went from a grimy shop towel to actual shop-grade degreaser, night and day difference

My chain and cassette used to look dark after every ride, but after switching to a citrus degreaser in a parts washer at my buddy's shop in Portland, everything just comes out shiny in 15 minutes. Has anyone else made a similar switch and noticed their drivetrain lasting way longer?

My Park Tool chain cleaner went from sticky black goo to rinse-clean metal in one pass, and that was the moment I stopped dreading maintenance. Honestly, the grime that used to eat my cassette within 3 months just wipes off now. Kinda wild what proper degreaser does to your wallet over a season.
