I have had to use the bike for the daily trips to work, and despite my best efforts, i have been unable to stop the parts corroding and furring.....

examples...

Nuts and bolts....
Gear change rod...
brackets (for wheel alignment)
etc

I spray the bike with WD40....but this has failed to work....

Any ideas peeps???????

Regards

Fraser

Cheap and cheerful but it 100% works WASH AND POLISH YOUR BIKE AND CLEAN ALL THE CRUDDY BITS WITH A TOOTHBRUSH After it has dried off get a tub of white petroleum jelly and paint a light film over all the areas you want to protect When you use the bike it will look disgusting with all the crud,but,best bit is when you next wash it every thing comes up like new I,ve done this on my last 3 bikes and each one has looked like new[apart from scratches and dings] when its come to selling time Benefit of brushing it on is you don,t spray anything on vital areas

On the nuts and bolts front, I'd have a word with Chewy22. I've got a full bike kit for my Pre-k3, and I know he was trying to drum up interest for the later models! Well worth the money

Scottoiler FS365 - after I've washed my bike, I spray it all over with this stuff -only bits I don't spray are the disk brakes
It's keeping mine looking OK
