As already said, use wax based shampoo.
Fairy liquid gets great results on dishes but ends up corroding the poor quality bolts on the sv.

I just wipe mine down with household furniture polish after a good wash, seems to keep the flies off it.

Dont worry about it, just learn as you go along :D the ions in fairy liquid are great for helping with the dissolution of last nights curry caked onto your dinner plate, but they also promote corosion of metal parts

Did you remember to make the oily bits oil again after cleaning (chain etc ) :D

speedplay - asda cheapo polish for the win :D

yeah i loot after the chain :)

good good, you'd be suprised at the amount of people who don't. And many of those people ride quite powerfull machines....150 bhp through a rusting, sagging, filled-with-kinky-links chain?

ooo its enough to make me lube it meself (i have done..)
