multisurface cleaner........... NOT furniture polish ........ have used it for years........ and years...![103](https://cdn.road.cc/sites/all/modules/contrib/smiley/packs/smilies/103.gif)
Cheers all...
I'm sure theres a a loada wet wipes lying around here somewhere, may just give her a good wipedown and buff after a weekends riding (weather permitting)..
Specialized UK recommeneded me to use polish for my s-works frame that was loosing its colour (more grey than black) when wet, (suggesting the laquer was absorbing water) will ask them which one. the s-works frames are light but lack the upper layer of 3x or similar and a heavy going over of toxic polyurathane varnish of most carbon frames, including their own pro versions of the same bikes... in the name of saving weight. I also have a suspicion that the matt top-coat is not as durable/water resistant/ reassuring as the gloss ones????
i should imagine if you have the usual industrial, high gloss, hard-as-nails poly top coat, all you need is baby wipes, etc as above posts say tho. if you are noticing the laquer being thin, the carbon changing hue with water, etc will ask what polish and post back.
+1 for babywipes use them to clean bike all the time![3](https://cdn.road.cc/sites/all/modules/contrib/smiley/packs/smilies/3.gif)
Babywipes. I would have thought Duraglit and Brasso were too abrasive for any bicycle frame.
Spooky, we've got a review of a carbon polish - slated to publish this evening from Brunox. I'll move it up the queue a bit
Got to say we use nothing fancier than a damp cloth
