    Glad that worked, a trick I use is to get some Car Polish eg Turtle Wax and do the undersides of the guards, any cheap wax will do, rub it in like you mean it and polish it with a second rag. This lowers the surface tension of the surface of the plastic so the mud may stick but quickly falls off when it hits a bump or two. Plus it'll stay for a few weeks. 10 minutes and you're done.

    years ago i used to use bel ray 6 in 1
    i havent seen it in the bike shops for years, it worked great
    but perhaps with the range of cheap spray silicones avail
    its lost its appeal, i remember it making bikes much easier to
    wash also, of course you dont want it near your brake components tho

    Didn't have canola spray but I tried olive and garlic spray at Mangatangi on sunday. Used Dynamo to wash the bike as usual and the clay just dropped off...easier than before. Added bonus the garlic kept the midges away!!
