I like Mr Sheen, lots of kero in it. WD40 also always in my shed. Nevrdull, polish cloth in a can a great touch up. Last few yrs for paint, go to is Fully Slick. Bowdens. So easy for a quick wipe over. Inox, Lanox another pair of good stuff, useful around house also, gates, door hinges etc. Wurth head light polish for visor, I Pone for cleaning inside helmet. I love products that work.  :grin:

I used Mr sheen on my XJR frame when I first got it back from the powdercoaters before I rebuilt the bike.
Nothing better than fully pulling your bike to bits and putting it back together yourself, happy days

Damn shame it's gone, been gone for ages too.
I polished up my stock headers with Autosol, wrap a rag fully around the pipe, bring both end back out, apply plenty of Autosol ( you'll want a good 1/2 tube of the stuff) and pull alternatively on each end of the rag back n forth, choir material again probably but it was easy, no effort at all, polished up a treat in no time at all, that's with the stock pipes though, not sure how an aftermarket single wall pipe would go?
I hate how SS goes brown, I'd rather hit em up with a torch and get that blue look but alas, I only have the boring old stock headers but they hold their shine pretty well.

single wall stainless headers and link pipe that make up my Akrapovic system, come up nice

I try to take one day at a time, however sometimes several days catch up with me at once.
