Cleaning product? don't you mean valeting guy?

Muc Off to get the worst off, then plain old turtlewax car shampoo to wash followed by Autosol for the stubborn shiny bits, and meguiars for the paintwork

They're still called spokes, even though they're big and there's only 3 of 'em. :tongue:

Although i've found Mr Sheen also works on the rear wheel :)

Oh, and i've not used it on the bike, but when cleaning the missis Gearbox for her car, we used Carb Cleaner, damn that stuff shifter oil and gunk like nothing i've seen. Great stuff, just pricey :lol:

So come on folks, what is the best for removing those really dried in remnants of splattered flies? No matter how shiney my fairing looks, I know there are still some of those little barstewards on there???? :-k

Re: cleaning products
 
Autoglym motorcycle cleaner to remove road crap / flies from bodywork.
Autoglym Alloy Wheel cleaner on wheels and brake calipers. (gets oily gunk off wheels a treat).
Autoglym engine cleaner for oily bits.
Autoglym shampoo for washing
Autoglym polish.

Guess whose products I use! :D They don't do parafin - which I use on the chain.
