Cleaning products

Relatively effective, but won't save you from ever having to clean your bike again

These could be the products that banish your fogging woes!

Handy time-saving tool, but the usual caveats about using with care apply

Slower acting than some drivetrain cleaners but highly effective

Very effective and surface-friendly bike wash

Convenient post-wash protectant for gloss finishes but less stoical than some waxes

Very effective cleaning capabilities, but more expensive than others

Effective and eco friendly, though not exactly cheap

Makes wintery bike cleans faster and easier but requires regular reapplication.

Effective and convenient to use, with good results on all surfaces

Effective cleaning power, but only if you use more than instructed – and that makes it expensive

A good frame polish that is easy to use, effective, and gives a good finish on frames or plastic
