    Only household 'chemicals' i'd use,warm soapy water,
    Would'nt generally use other household products,as their not type specific mostly and could be not only detrimental to the bike,but
    you have the added danger sometimes if they're mixed together.;) .

    I used a bit of Devil something :-/ says its for vehicles so added a cap of that with some cold water just to go over it first, wasnt major dirty, will do it with warm water again wen it isn't raining, but looks pretty clean now :) took these today, AFTER cleaning it.

    Try and get into a routine cleaning it regularly. Can use a car shampoo on the plastics and use a car polish after and the water will bead off a treat. I use a large soft brush on the wheels and engine etc.

    Mr sheen for panels...used it for years without any issues

    Astonish stainless cleaner is great for stainless. Try not you use washing up liquid as shampoo as its a grease remover...OK for removing grease/oil marks from where you DONT want them tho'.
    Brillo pads are good to use on rusty exhausts
