I cleaned the XB12SX today (for the first time - it's only done 450 miles). It looks good but how do you guys clean the non-shiny bits, like the frame, swing arm,etc? I accidently got some Autoglym on the frame/fuel tank, but wiped it off with a damp cloth. I'm anxious not to bugger it up but I want it to look a bit better. Any suggestions? Fanx.

I use GT85
can be used as a penertrator, displaces moisture, can be used on rubber and plastics.

Cheers Woz. Does it give the bike a shine?

Mr Pledge or Sheen

Yes you can use it on your tank cover to polish it or you can spray on and wipe straight off to clean & protect surfaces.
I use it around all my controls, switches, mirrors etc. its a good product.

Cheers guys. I'll buy a case of it tomorrow. Wonder if they do it on draught at my local?

Halfords sell GT85 - but you may need to look for it in the bicycle dept.

chris(madrid) - you sure thats not just silicon oxide

.............and its brill cleaning wheels too

The toughest bit to clean on my 09 is the engine block itself. The 09s (and I think 10s) have a rough black finish and I've found nothing that can clean it well yet. Cloths are useless on it - they just get eaten by the rough finish. Suggestions?

you will be able to get it from all good stocks soon - ie - hardware/carstores soon - look for items with silicon oxide in it
