    Well it's winter so we might as well have this topic going.



    How do you clean your bike? What do you use? etc etc.



    I use Muc-off on pretty much everything and of course autosol on the shiney bits.

    Well....

    First off I wash the panels down with a bucket of Autoglym bodywork shampoo/conditioner stuff using a sponge, then I dry that with a shammy, then I use autoglym super resin polish, let that dry and buff to a shine, then I use Extra gloss protection also from autoglym.

    I also WD40 everything this time of year, especially all the electrical points so water doesnt get in.

    Wheels get a good scrub too, and I often use a toothbrush to get into those hard to reach places like on the carb etc to keep it nice and clean.

    Shiney bits I use autosol :cool:

    im a cheap ass... i use mr sheen/disposable wipes to get the shit off, then murr to get the shine back. any bits other than the pannels get a good wiping and then more mr sheen, autosol on the shiny bits obviously. water only touches my bike if im out in the rain

    tfr first to get all the shit/salt off. autoglyn shampoo shit for the bodywork then some turtlewax, don't bother with a lether because its always raining.



    then at night the whole bike get's bathed in duck piss to keep the salt at bay.
