    Hi All,
    Now we are into that time of year when if you take your bike out you are pretty much guaranteed you will have to clean it when you get back, does anyone have any tips or recommendations for products etc that will help with cleaning and protection. Thanks 😊

    ACF50


    Give your bike a good coating of that. But make sure you cover your discs with a cloth or something

    As above, coat it in ACF50 (get the fairing off to properly coat everything). Then just let it get filthy, if the dirt on the plastics bugs you just wipe it off. Come spring give it a wash and it will be gleaming as the ACF will have left a coat on all the metalwork protecting it.

    I clean my bike a lot so dont have to spend much time and effort doing it but always use FS365

    brilliant stuff stops rust and gives everything a nice shine.

    I use dettol surface cleaner on the chrome, under the tail and greasy parts by the chain, bit of muc off and 'wax on, wax off' Greased Lightning 'Showroom Shine' - which is cheap and epic.

    Car, it's warm, who cares if it gets dirty, and the stereo is better too.

    Yep - Showroom Shine is the best cleaner & wax treatment on the planet.
    ACF50 is great too.

    Another vote for ACF50. Might be worth asking other members if they're interested and buy in bulk? Save you a couple of quid in the long run.
