When soapy water isn't enough....

.... what do you use?

I have a number of marks on my frame which general scrubbing with a sponge isn't having any impact on. They're generally on the underside of the down tube/BB and back of the seat tube so not highly visible, but as a bit of a cleaning obsessive I would like to get them clean and shiny.

Any tips out there?

    Halford's own brand degreaser cleans anything.

    Finish off with furniture polish for the perfect shine.

    Best thing I have found is baby wipes. Seriously.

    A bit of GT85 or WD40 can work well. Make sure you wipe off the residue.
    Best to spray it on to the cloth rather than directly on the frame.

    WD40 worked a treat, thanks everyone :-)

    I use WD40 from the pound shop, it's only 1 quid, cleaned brilliantly.

    I've found Muc off to be quite crap, soap and water does just as good.
