Ain't gonna make it go no better.

I'd spend the time and money giving it a good service.

Wont hurt to give it a clean, and sometimes whilst cleaning you notice problems that you can sort out before you go away...

Cleaning might show up some flaws.

Clean bikes before MOTs and scrutineering, any other time is a waste, unless you're talking 10% of the bike weight in mud anyway!

...the answer is no. Only girls wipe.
