I just use a sponge and bucket now,jetwasher packed up

use regular washing up liquid and these from the local pound shop,then wd40 on any locks/electrical switchgear/sidestand ect,use t cut for any scratches or swirl marks and then regular turtle wax,the interior clean n shine spray is good for the screen/seats and mirrors and my tank cover,use the engine degreaser on my wheels/swingarm areas

no expense spared

I've used muc off before,I think the key is not to leave it on for long,30 seconds or round abouts and wash it off

I have some of that mer car wax aswell,probably the best wax I've used

Some clear lacquer sprayed on screws/fasteners helps stop them rusting

And some fine wirewool and wd40 will bring them back

Wouldn't it make more sense to acf50 it when winters here? Summertime regular washing up lquid or car shampoo would do

ive used some muc off once,it was left behind at a jetwash garage,was alright

just keep the water away from the plug/plug lead ect and youll be ok,

washing up liquid n a sponge will work just as good
