Can anyone recommend good cleaning products or techniques and what about chainlube. I got castrol chainwax, and normally use carwax shampoo to clean bike but thinking of trying muc-off
Jizer is a degreasent spray that you clean all your engine with and chain,its clean and very effective better than Gunk and washes off with water,leaves no residue or streaks.The shampoo I use is Carplan,brill,the sheen is great but dont forget to wipe dry with chiomiux leather.Waxing is the key though a good quality wax is recommended I use Siminiz Max witch is the dogs testicles.Worth a try Gixer as it brings my blue R1 up a treat.

We use Autoglym polish for paintwork, Solvo autosol for Chrome, and armourall for seat and switch gear.

Im with BC.
Autoglym for paintwork etc. I find solvo a bit abrasive for chrome but I use it on alloy. Wheels and any black plastic gets a wipe over with a cloth sprayed with WD40

I found Parraffine (however you spell it), good for getting muck off the chain, sprokets and rear wheel, then wash down with a hose and apply fresh wax.
Go out with a BANG… Light a fart!
Best polish I ever found is Mer, been using it for years now, its amazing stuff.

RocketRichy, you can now get autosol in a liquid form, it’s not like the paste. Comes in a can.

BC,
Liquid autosol..! Genius !
I will keep an eye out for it next time I take the kids shoplifting at Halfords !

Alu Belgum is brilliant for polished wheels,It`s from Busters in Swansea mail order only.It`s less abrassive than autosol and brings the shine up without much effort.

Autoglym again is my baby everytime, when I got my new car, they tried to stitch me on the finance, so I gave them loads of sh*te and as a sorry they gave my car an autoglym paint protection cover, and interior autoglym upholstry protection. As a bonus, I get a lifetime supply of autoglym and of course the car gets jetwashed and the autoglym goes on the BIKE!
Well standards matey he he.
I use wonderwheels on the alloys and I tell you this, I did it once when i first got the bike just over a year ago and I haven’t had to use it again! Just give them a once over and they’re as good as new jobs a guden!
Good to know about the lube etc. Doing my chain for the first time this weekend and know bugger all about doing it, so it should be amusing trying to work it out pmsl!
I presume I will have to degrease the chain first, then I’ve got some Shell Advance chain Ultra which I got in Heine Gericke, the bloke in there told me that because I had ‘O’ rings in the chain that this stuff is better. I’m very green with things like this, so bought it and will give it a go, I’ll let you know if it’s any cop!
Happy riding to you all XXXXXXX
WIT WOO Lets have fun! Experience is the best knowledge x
Glad to hear you got your priorities right PoohChick, only the best for the bike LOl!

Wonder wheels id good stuff, but I have only ever used it on the car up to now.
Donate – Or Imperial Data will have you sorted!Remember to lube your chain from below the swingarm Poohchick or it flings it off without lubing it properly !
