My regime consists of a combination of road dirt/grease, tree sap, leaf matter, bird poo and a weekly vigorous rinse with rain water.
Do that many people really use household polish on their bikes? Have I really been wasting my money on bike polish for this long haha
Also is paraffin and white spirit OK to use on powder coated wheels?
I use a water soluble degreaser, I am on a septic tank so parafin might not be such a good thing to wash down the drain.
