Apply good wax (I use Meguiar gold class) on the painted plastic parts, let dry (10-15 minutes minimum), then wipe off with a clean microfibre cloth ($2 at Bunnings, can be washed with hot water and let dry).<br />
Wipe unpainted metal parts (swingarm) with CRC or WD40 to clean any oil/chainlube residue.<br />
Wipe the black unpainted plastic parts (mirrors etc) with a cloth sprayed with Armorall plastic protectant.<br />
I'm not sure about wheels. I'm still fooked with cleaning wheels. I hate it. I normally just ignore them.<br />
Don't do anything to the tyres. Leave them alone.<br />
Methods I use 10 years so far. Still brand new look. <br />
Happy to show results if you want.</div>
