If your down pipe is getting a bit browned off just put some on a rag,wrap it around the pipe & use the right/left pully method to bring it up like new....will also do for your can to.

I rinse muck off with a hose pipe. Then wash with a bucket and soft mitt thingy and a baby shampoo solution. Rinse with hosepipe. Leave to dry. Day after I polish with Autoglym super resin polish. Clean the chain with WD40 on a rag. Autosol x five gallon tub on my polished rims, forks and downpipes. On the downpipe I read a tip from a fellow orger about puttin a soft cloth around a sponge with the scotchbrite on the back, then add autosol and wrap around the downpipe and scrub back n forth....mmmmm shiny!

Nah,about £5 per tube...if youve not done your pipe before,just persivere for a bit 1st time(around 20/30mins should bring it right up) then after that just stay on top of it to keep it in tip top condition....hth.

Right....off to do some cleaning miself

I don't bother with 'Muck off' I just hose the muck off...lol.
I used to use the Autoglym equivalent which was motorcycle spray, but on my black bike it used to leave white streaks. Which is why I use baby shampoo. NICE N SHINY!
