I use Muc off to clean it or Halfords engine cleaner is also good
Turtle wax or Mer to polish works well for me.

I just use jizer and a brush then when its dry I use Autoglym and silver polish, silver polish is non abrasice and removes water marks etc from chrome and S/S.

O yes...................your a **** Nigel!

I have to agree with this If the weather is good enough to go out and clean the bike then it's good enough to ride it.
Which would you prefer to do?

I have to confess I am a serial cleaner.
If I take it out for a hour or two I will spend about the same time cleaning it.
Don't know why just always have done, guess its something to do with getting out the house and listening to the radio, and I like the way it looks when its all done,
