I Thought I would go buy some cleaning products for my bike today...so i nipped down to halfords and looked around for some sponges and shit... and came across a thing called autogylm....looked pretty impressive, like from reading the back of it! but it really does do an amazing job, At getting even the most stubnist of stains off your beloved bike!

I was very happy that it worked i've tried other cleaning products but this is the best by far! Anyone else agree with me? or...not? Thumbs Up

I use that stuff too,
spray it everywhere (especially dirtyer bits),
wait,
use a dish brush on badly dirty bits + add more,
scrub again,
water,
do the same again till clean Very Happy

Also get 2 sponges, start from the top and go down, use one for dirtyer bits and the other for finishing off Thumbs Up

it does..but most household polishes contain silicone...which in the unfortunate event of you needing a respray will cause huge problems with the paints adhesion,some places wont even touch bodywork for painting if they no silicone based products have been used ..as it causes them a huge amount of hassle.

Auto Glyms "Instant Show Shine" is brilliant stuff.. just spray it on and wipe over and the bike gleams just like new.. really really great stuff.

@cqueen it should do mate,a friend of mine had problems at a paintshop due to using household polish,in the end he had to get a new panel as paint wouldnt adhere to it no matter how well they thought they had prepped it.

autoglym all the time as my top coat of wax........

good tip is to apply it with a damp cloth and then it wont dry too quick and shines up a lot easier.
