    Mix it up and spray it on after getting most of the crap off. Liquid dynamo does a great job on the Ali.

    Umm, I don't.

    Paved roads are just another example of wasted tax payer dollars.

    I use truck cleaner based products you can get them in differnt grades. I use a truck cleaner that i can use on my blue rims and other coloured parts. All i do is spray on wait 10 min and water blast off and its clean. Some cleaners may discolour anodising so be carefull! I then use a industrial silicone based product its similar to dash board polish but dosent attract dust as much as silicone. Same as car dealers use. spray on and leave for a day then wipe axcess of the pannels this stops all rubbers and from going hard and stops corrsion and gives it a show room shine every time. All so stops dirt from sticking to the alloy so easier to clean off after the next ride!

    All Depends how fussy you are i probobly spend twice the time working on my bike then i do riding it!

    Yea be careful with what you wash your bike with, a lot of my mates over wash their bikes and are constanly replacing swing arm and wheel bearings. Ever wonder why that ag100 in the shed that's never been washed in its life is on its first set of wheel bearings,but your much loved state of the art high perfomance $12,000 mx bike is on its tenth set???And it ain't cause no one bothered to change them......

    Yeah I've heard you have to be careful where you point your water blaster. Can fuck bearings and seals.

    Thanks for the tips guys. I'll give the Cold Power a go. I'm going all out with toothbrushes and what not.

    If I had an XR250 then it would be anal.

    I'm not riding this weekend so I thought I would spruce her up a bit.
