    All do the same depends on how much you want to spend. If you want to remove fine scratches then

    Yeah there's a few little scratches would be nice to get them out as the weather is getting better so the bike has to look on point

    +1 for Mr Sheen. Handy for that quick once over if you don't have time to strip it all down and make a REAL effort.

    I also have many Autoglym and Meguiars products and rate their stuff highly but swear by Mr Sheen as a quick fix.

    I hate cars and bikes being dirty like you wouldn't believe :mad: and have to say the best results are achieved with Autoglym. But do not was your bike with a shampoo that contains wax. It finds its way into the electrics and the wax insulates the connectors and leads to electrical problems. The best shampoo is Simoniz Wax free, then follow this up with Autoglym aqua wax for a quick shine that lasts. If you have more time Autoglym High definition polish is amazing. Autoglym paint renovator removes most minor scratches.

    For the chain Muc-off Chain cleaner seems to get everything off with just a spray and a rinse and then Muc-Off chain lube seems to have the least fling off.
