    I'll go looking for it for you, but chances are I'll turn up in two hours time with my O level results.

    Always busy mate, the bloody Things get dirty before I finish washing them these days, and I'm really struggling to get a good shine on the Mazda. I want to get some Nightbreakers from you anyway when I get around to sorting it. PM me the link to the shop and I'll phone you at some point and do a card over the blower..

    Yep check it out then you will never use it!

    Behind the label: Fairy Liquid - The Ecologist

    Also MucOff is made just up from the road from me and I can tell you it's died truck was or traffic film remover! Be warned if you use it hot as it stains anodising on alluminume and cause corrosion but leaves the bike nice and clean....lol ;)

    I like turtle wax wash and wax for cheap good cleaning and it's harmless and cheap in 5l cans.. :). there are some good products around now but I say to all check the label and specifics of cleaners!

    Try using facial wipes on your wheels, brings em up a treat and removes all deposits.

    When feeling lazy a quick wash with Huggies wet wipes then a quick buff with a microfiber cloth does the trick

    Baby wipes excellent at bug removal on leathers before a treatment of rennapur, bike as other have said car wash and wax, dry off then autoglym super resin polish, wd40 is brill on wheels the chain wax just wipes off plus leaves a barrier so next time even easier to clean. The helmet gets a wash to then I use motrax purple helmet polish (their name I kid you not) it smells great
