    A bit of patience and some elbow grease goes a long way! <!-- s:rofl: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":rofl:" title="Rofl" /><!-- s:rofl: -->

    Haha, nah just use metal polish on the metal and a non silicon polish on it every now and again. Then to clean the dirt and **** I just use window cleaner.

    I wanna get some silicon polish but...I think it doesn't attract the dust as much..and makes it even shinier. A cheap alternative is Mr Sheen ive heard.

    nah...u goin bout it the wrong way!
    need to clean it thoroughly, then polish either by hand or machine....hand is proly easier since its a bike
    then use a good quality carnauba wax once that week..let it cure then another layer a week layer....
    this would make anything easy to clean off with just water n make it nice n shiny too!

    dean - should come round my place n ill show ya how to do it! got the gear n stuff for it too!

    Mr Sheen is a great cheap cleaner for the plastic parts of the bike - not as good as plexus but given it is $3 a can it is worth it in my opinion. It can be used on the metal (i.e. tank) but you really have to polish/dry it off else it streaks. Also great to clean your visor with too!
