However I had applied this to the bike prior to the trip and the day after I got home I hosed and washed the bike. After a carefull clean you would now think the bike had never been out in the wet - which we know is not the case. I would definately recommend this product to anyone who rides all year round whatever bike you ride. I only apply it after every other wash now as there is now a protective film built up on the bike and so this makes it economical to use now and hopefully it will help retain the bikes look and value throughout and after the winter months.
