Got home after the lakes, bike really needed a clean but being lazy I sprayed it with bike cleaner, then hosed it down ready to polish next morning.
next day I 'borrowed' wifes tesco spray polish and it was crap, really watery and greasey still did the whole bike.
My wife, Wendy said which polish did you use?, the tesco cheap one I said and it is crap don't buy it again. Let me see it she said, course I thought I'd get told off for using best part of the can instead she burst out laughing. Cos I'd just polished the whole bike with
AIR FRESHNER..................DOH.

what a plum.
Was once told Mr Sheen was good for seats vinyl. Almost slipped off at the first bend. No amount of elbow clenching could keep my cheeks in place.
Ok, I was young and stupid.

Shoe polish, you'll be able to give it a nice shine then

I know heaps of people (and a couple of bike shops) who use the ol' Mr Sheen on bikes & helmets alike. Does a splendid job!

Don't worry about washing it, just give the kids some chalk and get them to colour it in for you!!
Might as well make it yellow while you're at it!!
