[Road Runner]

The F1 Team I work for are sponsored by West but I don't smoke!!

I use Muc off for the the plastics. and Halfords own engine cleaner for the realy oily bits not found anything to beat it.

[rcgbob44]

I use an engine cleaner each time and a good brand name polish, oh yes and lots of effort and elbow grease.

Still looks tatty though!

Bold.....???
Oh...and plexus.
Failing that...pledge!:P

castrol do a bike cleaner (found it in halfords but it must be available elsewhere) i then spray scotoil FS365 everywhere(not discs or brakes) it drives water out and neutralises the dreaded salt that stops the lovely shiny bits corroding

me too - fantastic on that tough to remove grime! And on wheels, it just sweeps away the dirt (said in a John Inman manner)

but dont get the new ones with extra wax - they are like water and rubbish - stick to the original Mr Sheen

I use the little boy next door and pay him 50 pence

i want mine looking pristine next w/e

Mr Sheen original - liberal spray and wipe off all the crap. Great for dead flies as well. Dont do engine mate - why do you think I have a fairing?? But where I do bolts & stuff I just use WD - 'cleans and protects' - the Judge Dredd of maintenance products
