also putting washing up liquid (no water with it) on both sides of you visor works as anti mist and also repels water

Owning a bike with white wheels I have had fun cleaning them.

I used to use WD40 to break up the gunk/fling and general road muck. Then I tried Cillit Bang as the wife had bought some, didn't like it and dumped it in the garage. Works fantastic and I am not as scared about spraying it near brake discs as I was with the WD40

Know how you feel mate - the silver and green wheels on the zed are a pest and look annoyingly grubby after minutes!

Now that we're on a theme, Mr Muscle works a treat as well just make sure you don't get any on your chain

WD40 for everything except brake pads and disks.
