Same here been using washing up liquid for years (not as long as figaro though ) never had any problems either.
Thanks for the advice. Strong shout for good old fairy liquid. Anyone used any of the McGuiar's (sp?) product from Halfords or the Chemical Brothers stuff online? Is Muc-Off fine to use? Thanks again.
It must be Meguiars you're talking about, definitely good stuff. I stole tubs and tubs of it when I worked for a racing team in Woking, and it's never let me down...
Chemical guys sell Matte shampoo and Matte detailer, I use this on my car, good results but its expensive
Here's an idea, just ride it and clean it and just ride it again, you can keep it tidy but once the stone chips attack it will never be showroom so just enjoy
