looks like we have a few of us using the same 

[Chrisblack10r]

I clean the bike with this shampoo and mit




Dry it off with a microfibre cloth like this



once all dried then polished with this polish



Then once all polished I apply 2-3 coats of wax with this stuff

OCD

[tingy]

I need to wax mine up apparently if done right the first time it makes the bike very easy to wash and top up the wax next time

[10R_fettler]

Come on fettler be a bit more specific!   

LOL. Im just going a bit mad cos its the middle of winter and Im barely out on the damn thing. Mine hasnt had that treatment for ages tho!!! Now a few more people have commented Im liking the simpler solutions like "wash with this..dust it with this"

[Wheeltrax]

So a good all-in-one would be Autoglym Super Resin Polish?
With the amount of times I have to wash my bikes over the course of the season I really just want to shampoo/dry/apply polish/buff off.

[goldie]

your gona laugh but i use mr sheen aswell, dont get it on the brakes though 

[chriswillis]

It does sound silly the first time you hear about Mr Sheen, think mine was on the kawiforums website when i had my 636. Liked what i heard (ie it was cheap and had it in the house) so tried it and it honestly works excellent.

I dont ride in the rain though so not sure if your bike is mega dirty but for normal cleaning and polishing it's a sure fire easy way to do it. I am a Mr Sheen convert for life 

[Wheeltrax]

Ive heard extremely good reports about Meguiars stuff.
Problem is theres so much in their range its left me confused.
Anybody tell me what they do thats a good as an all-in-one polish?

[Sjyp]

I tried some Nano Tech product on my wheels. Pretty useless. Quickly lost it's protective properties. Called the wholetrader but he'd gone bankrupt in the meantime 

As to polish I've used various brands and haven't noticed much difference.

Don't use Vinyl Shine on the seat though - bike becomes quite lively underneath you, hehe

I use swissol teflon wax kit, it comes with the shampoo,paint rubber,detail solution,tyre solution & teflon wax. Its the best wax i have used and leaves a mirror like finish.

[WAZHALO31]

Swissol is cracking gear very expensive but lasts along time,

I go for Chemical guys products good quality at a reasonable price,

Hardcore XXX wax brilliant stuff easy to put on and buff off.
there citrus wash is great too leaves a good finish even without waxing. for the black plastics I use there trim detailer its non silicone based so doesnt attract dust etc

Check them out on the web.

Cheers

Just bought some of this to try..

A1 Speed Polish
Gets a very good write up here in Germany. Its a "Nano" based polish (whatever that means  ) so it'll be interesting to see how it performs.
