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.

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! They don't do parafin - which I use on the chain.
