    Been using cleanyourcar for years, when you say better than autoglym depends on what product you compare it too, I use supernatural on my bikes but £60.00 a tub, also I use RaceGlaze 65 but again £70.00, take in mind you can spend £10,000.00 on car wax, google Royal.. :)

    I use deep shine and super resin polish, only costs £11.00 per litre, and works well.

    There is better than Dodo but you pay the price. Try Supernatural panel pot. bloody good stuff. OK £15 for a very small pot but give you a idea of how good it is and will the pot will last a while on the bike

    Also rate this as a Quick detailer
    FinishKare #425 - Ultra Slick Polywipe
    FinishKare #425 - Ultra Slick Polywipe - Clean Your Car

    I've run out of it so going to buy the gallon of it. I often use detailing spray after a ride and saves on a full wash.

    Me too with Clean Your Car.......great site with great service.....

    I prefer Carlacke Nano.....plus a carnuba wax occasionally on top.....car and bike

    So glad I'm not the only obsessive on here as I get a load of stick from mates re my habitual cleaning......

    Clean them, (and wipe the bike over) after every ride to get chain lube etc off, so fairly clean, At present i spray some WD40 onto a cloth and wipe the wheels, however I think this will remove the paint on the repsol wheels.

    Just use any spray wash n wax I got castrol at the moment £4.50 a can n I do the whole bike with it,

    1 tip I know it sounds daft, get the cheapest margarine possible and rub it on after with a cloth it brings them
    Up looking amazing and puts a barrier over the wheel so the crap never sticks to the wheel and wipes off dead easy'

    Hmm, I can't say, I never got a serious chance to polish mine yet, when it came home it was minter than mint after the Bats treatment for a week, I did notice a speck of dust on it this evening, I may have to paint my garage floor again very soon ;)
