I know it will make you laugh but pledge furniture polish is very good on paintwork!

I use Autoglym on all my vehicles, but I use a finishing polish afterwards.  I'm currently using Autoglym finishing polish, but the best one is BMW's Nano Polish.  Excellent stuff and hardwearing

Always have and probably always will use Mr Sheen.
Fantastic at fly corpse removal, £1 a can, just don't spray on the seat or grips!

Apply before a ride and reap the rewards of easy bug removal when you get home.

If I'm feeling flush and want to treat my ride a good clay bar and nice wax do top the Mr Sheen!

I use T-Cut Colour Fast to restore and polish the paint and Simoniz Back to Black Bumper & Tyre Gel on all the plastic trim. I have recently used SC1 High Gloss Clear Coat 'new bike in a can' spray, it's great on the trim, much easier to use (spray on, leave for 5 mins and then wipe off) but it's not so good on the paint as the T-Cut. The SC1 smells lovely too - like bubblegum.

Just done a complete dry clean with Mr Sheen and impressed I am, not sure if I would risk it if it had been out in the rain cause of the grit, so I guess you gotta rinse it off first then?

Id never put a tyre dressing on motorbike tyres, whey whey too dangerous and some products actually have disclaimers for this

Autoglym liquid polish (good for scuffs and scratches) and spray instant shine. Mr Sheen for dirty wheels etc. :-)

I wash it with Turtle wax car wash, then Polish it with Pledge.  Do the Screen with Windolene.  any bad marks on Body work I use Mer on, scuff on Pannier I polished out (very lightly),using a fine cutting compound, then Mer, then Turtle wax car Polish, came out like new, but do not use cutting compound if you do not know what your doing!  Use a Matt dashboard cleaner on all Plastics, but to be honest have hardly touched them as they are in tip top condition, previous owner looked after it well.
