    I have used many many products on my bike to protect it and make it shine, some very expensive and some cheaper but the best by far is believe it or not "Tesco's own brand bumper & tyre restorer" - just make sure you don't get it anywhere near your brakes (as it says on the can)
    All I can say is that my bike is gleaming, clean and rainwater & traffic crud sheds off it so easily.
    A lot of the specific cleaners seem to have an inherent static problem which attracts dust and road crud.

    It's really cheap too!

    I used to use Pledge on my plastics many moons ago. It was great but dont use on the seat. Luckily it was only a 50cc so the sliding about for a while on the seat wasnt an issue. ;D ;D ;D
    When it's your time to go it's your time, so don't let it catch you.

    I put something on my seat once that made it look beautiful - but as you can imagine it was no fun on my Gixxer (It was like riding a log flume)
    I slid back on gear changes and into the tank when braking!
    A painful experience that I don't wish to repeat.

    Sounds like it'll have a load of silicon in it?

    I found pledge on the pillion seat is a very effective way of silencing a nagging wife/partner.

    Hope this tip helps. Lol

    ;D
