I have recently bought a Cube Agree SL which i'm very please with however..... Cleaning it is a pain due to it's matt black finish. I normally go for hot soapy water and dry with a old towel but this leaves steaks if i'm not careful. any idears? And no i don't want to paint it gloss white....

    I've just gone from a glossy carbon Giant TCR Composite frame to a TCR Advanced SL which is more matte.
    Still spray it with Pedro's Green Fizz and then spray it with Finish Line which is a bit like Mr Sheen :D

    Matt black finishes were invented by the same sadist who invented white bar tape. He should have been strangled at birth! :lol:

    It's not cheap, but if I had a matt black bike I'd probably go for something from the Swissvax Opaque range
