That looks a well looked after bike - but 7000 miles? You need to give it a life :)

Try Mr Sheene instead of WD40 - works a tad better IMO  :onya:

+1. when we go shopping to ASDA. A can always ends up in the trolly...!

Brilliant for white wheels. Spray on and wipe off. I do most 14 with it. For a quick polish it will do whole 14. More serious polish I prefer to get the turtle wax and proper metal polishes out.

I guess one could but no I use a variety of other polishes and finishes, typically from the Meguairs / Menzerna / DoDo Juice / Chemical Guys brands. Mr Sheene was "reserved" purely for the wheels, as it put a nice shine on and also made it dead easy to wipe any grease off the wheel (in fact it was the best stuff I found for making it easy to wipe the wheel around when grease spun onto it - used in conjunction Wurth Dry Chain lube, whilst I got some spotting on the wheels, it was never that much and what did spin off was easily removed by a quick wipe around
