I normally clean my bike with hot water and some Fairy. It takes the worst off but there's always a film of dirt over everything that won't shift, presumably it's grease, tar from the roads etc. I'm taking cleaning and maintenance a bit more seriously now as I'm planing to upgrade my bike soon. Might as well practice and make mistakes on the old one.
Lots and lots of cleaning products available and it seems you can over analyse what you use but would I be right in thinking if I got Muc-Off Bike degreaser and sprayed this over the bike this would remove most of the stubborn stuff. I would then give it a clean with soapy water. Then finally a spray with GT85 would drive off any water where it shoudn't be and give a protective film that should make cleaning easier the next time? Lube things that need it when dry.
That sound about right?
