Go to halfords and get a some Bike Spray, from the MuckOff lads. Its got a PTFE base and when you put it on, you'll think - christ! Why did I bother cos it looks all wrong! leave it to dry for a bit. It's best put on after a wash of course..

Then get an old leather, rub it in vigorously, like wax and leave it. On the chassis and any moving/metal parts (xcept brakes/tires dur) just spray and leave, maybe wipe gently.. It's good for your chain too.

It's totally water repellant and leaves an oily feel for about a week. It's cheap, makes the bike look like showroom and protects it no end..

check the link for the last time I did it:

No, my experience is to clean it off every week, but that's because I keep my bike clean. On the Yam i used it about once a month and there was always a good coating left when I gave it a proper clean, so I could have left it a lot longer

When I can't be bothered to clean the bike for a while, there's always enough that I'm not worried about reapplying still on.
