How does it get that dirty??
I showed my brother in law mine earlier in the week, I said im going to give it a polish
His reply "WTF, have you been smoking crack?" but I can see the dirt, honestly :D

all purpose cleaner does work a treat, wheel cleaner for really stubborn bits. i use bilberry.
just stay away from the electrics and youl be laughing. i tend to keep the engine running when any water goes near it also
