If you want to clean your bike the quick and easy way this is the stuff to do it.

Costs about £6.50, comes in a big squirty bottle.

Go out for a ride, get the bike all dirty (and in the cold it can look rather minging after a couple of hours riding), get home, spray the Cleaner all over the bike, get a hose and rinse off. For best results get a chamoi (sp?) leather and dry off.

Bike cleaned (and rather sparkly) in about 20 minutes.

Right there

I usually use Muc -off , but got the Autoglym all in one pack, helmet and visor cleaner, wheel cleaner and the Motorcycle cleaner with a few cloths thrown in, not bad at all,

Just when ive finished i throw on a little 'bike spray' water displacer and water repellent to keep the rain and crap of a little longer,

I've got some of this stuff - Great for cleaning when you can't be bothered to get the pressure washer etc out :roll:

Well worth the dosh :wink:

I used Autoglym products on my first car (cos i loved her and wanted only the best for her... then i blew her engine up. oops).

I wondered if the bike stuff was any good and from what you guys say they are.

The most amazing of their products is the Glass Cleaner.
Goes on liquid and dries to a paste like finish that turns to powder as you wipe it off.

Great for any glass at all as its also non abrasive.

Its no wonder Aston Martin use nothing else on their cars. :thumbsup:

The Showroom Polish they do also leaves your bike not only very shiney and smooth... but smelling nice too! :shock:

stay out riding an extra 20 minutes, get the slaves (sorry kids) to clean it later.

I agree, but usually get the 'garage fairy' (read hubby) to do it.

As a general cleaner it's fine but hopeless with removing chain-fling from the rear wheel (use WD40 or Pledge).

If you can get your wheels nice and clean then take some time to wax them - it stops muck clinging to them (works very well with car alloys too).

The sainsbury's near me has also got a jet wash that allows you to buy time and select whatever wash options you like. Great for bikes - i can wash mine done for a quid :D

Do be very careful of using a jet wash as they can push water into things like wheel bearings causing which ain't a good idea.

Although I clean my bike a couple of times a week ( :oops: ) I only actually wash it with a hose half a dozen times a year.

I prefer the other stuff that use to be made by Silkolene, until they were taken over.

Its now known as Fuchs Off

It suits my teenage sense of smutty laughs better :P and Im 43
