A note for anyone who cares, don't ever use fairy liquid to wash a car or bike.
Fairy liquid contains salt and will ruin and leave swirly scratches in your paintwork and when it dries then those salt particles that are left attract moisture which in turn leads to rust etc. Car/bike specific shampoo/gel isn't expensive and lasts a long time, it will also do a much better job of cleaning your vehicle. You've been warned.
For the really caked on hardned dirt then just soaking it will loosen it, it just takes a few minutes longer, understandably not everyone is interested in this extra time but it'll help keep your bike looking nicer for longer if you take your time to wash it properly

It wouldn't be fun if it was easy, I just wish it wasn't this much fun.
