Chain cleaner or parafin for the chain, you'll need a toothbrush / paint brush / old rag for this as well

WD40 is good for getting grime / oil off to, particularly on grimy back wheels

Mr Sheene furniture polish is good on plastics / screens, but make sure you use a clean soft cloth, the Mr Sheene wipes are pretty good to for this.

Autosol is you have a shiney exhaust pipe fetish, but dont use on titanium exhausts, just give those a wipe over with WD40

You might find a brush or a wash mit useful, as is a hosepipe for rinsing off, dont be tempted to use a jet wash, if your not careful you'll blast the grease out of the wheel bearings etc etc.

TBH apart from the chain cleaner / parafin / WD40 I just use the same kit on my bike that I used on my car...

what fizz said but my main two are WD40 and Mr Sheen.
