What to use when cleaning the bike???
 
Evenin' all.

Having established that using petrol really isn't the best idea, what do you use to clean your wheels, frame, swingarm, bodywork, etc? I know most folk use WD40, paraffin, silicon, etc, but what do you use on which bit???:puzzled:

Cheers,

Ali

WD40 on most components for me to be honest. Bodywork, wheels etc etc.... bring them all up a treat.

'motorcycle wash' stuff that was 17p from Tesco's (discontinued stock) for the engine in a spray, and that for the calipers too.

I would use a normal bike cleaner, but I don't want to run water over her (open airbox, italian electrics).

Use GT185 PTFE spray on engine parts and black plastic.

Mer polish on everything else.

Never use water, only a damp leather to get rid of flys etc.

Sod the hosepipe ban - I've been at the bikes with a Karcher!!!

I'm guessing from reading here that you chaps would not recomend jet washing the engine then?
