Hi all,

Just a question on something I’m currently interested in whilst awaiting delivery of my XB9s. What cleaning products are recommended? The only bike I’ve ever ‘loved’ was my XB12 which I treated to Maguires products, which was pretty special/technologically advanced back then.

What’s recommended now? I see all these sparkly photos on here and wonder because I know most of the bike is plastic. Autoglym is a minefield now and seems to be inundated with products for this and that. Don’t get me started on foaming... is this a fad? Seems everyone is using that here but for what benefit I am unsure.

Thanks in advance as always


Keith

They are shiny because most of them don't go anywhere mate.

I am biased towards Autoglym. The trade range van calls with me once a year :dance:

When you've finished cleaning a good coat of silkolene pro prep. Better finish than acf 50 & just as effective.
