Came out pretty good, wipes clean much easier than before. €12 for a bottle is good value too!
First step was Muc Off Nano Tech cleaner. Sprayed that on the bike including wheels and left it for a few mins.
Then I hose the bike down and use an oversized brush(again from Muc Off, designed for motorbikes) to get any more stubborn dirt off. Spray more cleaner and hose those areas down to ensure bike is spotless.
When the bike is still wet, I liberally spray Turtle Wax Sealant Hydrophobic Wax all over the bike and wheels. I gave it a few minutes to set then wiped dry with a micro fibre towel.
The sealant wax has carnuaba (sp?) was in it, and you can feel the coating of wax on the frame, it feels slick.
This spray doesn't seem to give the water shedding that some people may want, but I think I'll try Meguiers Ceramic spray wax next time, it's more expensive at about €25 a bottle.
I've only been on one ride but I'm happy with how much quicker the bike cleans after the wax application.
Any other questions, let me know!
