Some of the bikes on here are sooo clean, mine is never that clean no matter HOW long i spend on it. Do you have some magical cleaner ?

Thanks

I use ProClean and ProDegreaser. Just discovered these products after years of doing it all the hard way (disassembling the bike and loading it in the washing machine). :P
My 999S looks really good even after 1200 miles, but there's no hope for my 750 Sport (two winters have been very unkind to it).

I swear by stuff called "MUC-OFF".

I think it was originally marketed for mountain bikes but I use it on bike/car aswell.

It's brilliant stuff - just don't leave it on for too long though.

I bought some yesterday actually from Halfrauds - they are doing a 2 for 1 promo on loads of stuff at the moment so if you are quick you should be able to take advantage.

Cheers.

HA HA!!!

Just noticed you are in Sweden and Halfords are probably a bit thin on the ground over there.

Sorry!!

The guys in the showroom at Ducati in Chelsea use some Honda magical polish to make them shine. Must try and get some... any suggestions?

I use Muc-Off but I'm never convinced that the polish spray stuff really stops it getting mucky again...

Crap flap on the back wheel helps lots. Anyone who hasn't got one is asking for rear shock rot...

You mean they pay you lots of money to use their product?

Yeah, that would work for me too, no matter what it was like
