Default Re: How best to clean a REALLY dirty bike?

OK I recently gave the ZX6 the first proper clan in about 8 months and ooh 8000 miles through winter....

I used fairy liquid / muc-off over most of the bike first (Yes I know it's slightly salty, but the bike was caked in road salt and grease so I figured it wasn't that bad). On the swing arm and rear wheel I used paraffin and a toothbrush and an old washing up brush, then fairly liquid.

Having re-discovered most of the original colours I then cleaned the whole thing using autoglym bodywork shampoo (any cheap car wash would be fine I guess) and then used wax on the bodywork.


Results weren't bad.
