Last week’s bargains

Cleaning your bike on a regular basis not only keeps it looking showroom shiny, but will also protect it in the long run too. Leave bug splat, bird poop or road salt unattended for too long and it can easily mark paintwork or damage delicate surfaces like screen and headlights, with the latter of the three being particularly damaging to alloy components like radiators, coolers and engine casings.

It also gives you the perfect opportunity to get up close and personal for an in-depth inspection while you’re at it, where you might just spot something like a loose fastener, oil leak or tyre damage before it becomes a problem. Having a decent cleaner is one thing, but like any job you’ll need a range of tools to get the job done properly.
