    Silicone spray will make your plastics look like new just about, but it's very slippery. A mate of mine sprayed his bike tyres with it, and he learnt the hard way when he ended up sliding on the ground one day.

    Hell, not even I'm that stupid...not usually anyway...

    Who wants their bike to look like they never ride it anyway?

    Best thing to do is buy the normal cleaning products from a bike shop, 99% of the time they dont damage your bike and if they aren't cleaning the dirt good enough, man up and scrub harder!!

    As for silicon, my mate sprayed his VFR750 with the stuff before trading it in so it would look real shiny. The shop charged him to clean the stuff off before they would sell it.
