I wasn't totally happy with the downpipes, so following a tip on here, I purchased some of this:

It's grittier than Autosol, but does seem to produce a better finish. It's £12 a pot, but you don't need lots.

I shall try again when I have more time, but after 10 minutes, I could already see an improvement.

Good spot Sir. It's already on order from BMW, along with a few others!

You REALLY clean a motorbike with a toothbrush???

My retirement plan involves a lot more riding and not a single bit more cleaning!

Wow. What a great cleaning job. I try to keep my bikes clean but....well, now a bit of shame may set in. I'm heading out to the barn now.
