No not Barry who was born here and went to live in OZ but the stuff made in Oz that keeps 'umpteen things clean.'

My last pride & joy was a Kawi VN900 Classic with lovely chrome spoked rims. Well no, actually coz they werent chrome and so jaded very quickly and they were a real pain to keep clean. However long you spend cleaning your Gissers rims times it by ten for spoked - one thing about the Vulcan I wont miss!

The advantage of the cruiser was it was belt final drive - no oil or lube to mess up the rear. Not so on the GSR. I have tried lots of expensive 'gunks' to clean off lube and tar and other such undesirables but Mr Sheen is still tops.

NOTE TO THE WISE - NEVER SPRAY DIRECTLY ONTO THE RIM. one it makes the tyre look patchy and two your back brake has no effect for a week!!! Always spray onto a cloth first (no wanting to teach u to suck eggs but its happened - I KNOW!!!)

In fact Mr Sheen is great at cleaning grease, tar and lube off most surfaces and it is cheap by comparison to other so called cleaners. Although dust does tend to cling, water has the opposite effect - makes the plastics look good also!

Owning a cruiser you learn a lot about cleaning a bike ;-)

Personally I prefer WD40 and I use it for all degreasing and shining up the plastics, rims, frame, engine, downpipes, etc.

I also find it leaves a thin layer of protection which protects dirt from sticking to it making it easier to clean next time round.

I've found that GT 85 does a good job and has a pretty nice smell to it...

Beware of using beeswax on your helmet Matt, it'll probably sting..... Purple and Laughing

On the plus side, at least it'll swell up.... Wink
