I really don't know what to say hehe. The heel guards are not even slightly scoffed ......jeez :o ;) . Kwak, cuz makes you look like an amateur ;)
Jester, what makes you think the chain is going to be lubed? :)

And then he'll lube the chain 'n' it'll all go mucky again! :D
I recommend Motul chain lube for road bikes....................very, very little fling;)
That's what we use:D
I recommend WURTH chain lube for road bikes....................very, very little fling;)
That's what we use:D

I had a go at shining up my downpipes the other day. I spent a good half hour with some considerable improvment, but then i couldnt be bothered and polished the fairing, tank etc.
I finally cleaned the chain, returning it to its former gold colour

Mine was that spotless before the midlands ride out which involved riding through deep muddy flood water at one point :(
Needs considerable work now :(

very commendable mate--
each to their own..
i think it looks ace...
how is he at work.. being a plasterer.. does he take ages to get the corners straight !!..
at least he has the nice new garage for the clean bike to go in eh??
cant wait to see how the yam cleans up-- its gonna be good.
kwak zzr
18-06-07, 03:14 PM
you'd think wouldnt you that the mess a plasterer gets into at work wouldnt be bother'd about a pin clean bike:) cars he's not so bother'd about but the sv and his garage have to be clean, he broke the dyson hoovering the garage floor.
Thats show standard that is top marks for the autosol abuse :lol:, i may get around to having a go one day. I do enjoy cleaning me bike!!!

18-06-07, 07:09 PM
went in Halfraud's the weekend and autosol is £6.50 per tube:smt103
i paid £2.50 last time, needless to say i stocked up.:)
It's about time you told us the truth Kwak.
Those photo's were taken just after the garage did his PDI checks surely. :smt103 :cool:
nitpicking mode: I notice he didn't clean the cement dust off the front tyre. tut-tut.

Is he going to buy yet another bike to ride in the wet now then??! :lol:

20-06-07, 04:25 PM
he was talking about trying to make some money on the yam by just cleaning it up and selling it on at a profit, he still wants a wet weather bike tho.

20-06-07, 04:51 PM
So how much of a tube does he use to clean it all up mate?

20-06-07, 07:21 PM
OMG- that clean up job is amazing.!!
2 for a fiver is good - might get some meself.. unless its a tenner delivery - i got some fer £3.50 delivered off e bay recently.
Clive- re the crash bungs- have you seenthe size of Cuz??. I have met him mate... he is massive-- dont thing the bike will ever fall over he will just stop it with one finger..
but I get your point..
still shakin me head on how he's cleaned that Yam up... when it is finished it needs to be a feature in Bike or Ride or something

This describes my Friday evening perfectly...
I had a go at shining up my downpipes the other day. I spent a good half hour with some considerable improvment, but then i couldnt be bothered and polished the
...rest of the exhaust in my case. Pulled the end can off (never done that before) and cleaned up brackets etc as well as the end can itself. Very satisfying.
I need instructions on how to use Autosol though. I can't seem to get my downpipe silver shiney, just 'not quite so rusty looking'.

Hardly a revelation.
Cuz's bike's cleanliness is just mind blowing. If cleanliness were next to godliness I think we'd have to describe the bike's colour as cardinal red.

Is it possible to get bolts shiny at all? They were first to go on my bike :(
kwak zzr
21-06-07, 04:25 PM
which bolts are you talking about? if its engine bolts i'd suggest changing them for better ones. on my old cbr which had quality bolts i used to take each one out and fix it into a drill, dip it in autosol and spin it round on a rag:)
this gave chrome like bolts:)

keep going it will come. in extreme circumstances i have used wet and dry dipped in autosol just to get the initial hard discoloration off.
Cheers for the encouragement Kwak. Oh and great tip on bolt polishing - wasn't me that asked but I think that's very clever.
Does he have a few hours to come over to S'bury?????

LMAO! This is one funny post. I cant believe how unbelievably clean these bikes are - how many miles are on them???
To get it that clean is a hell of a lot of elbow grease. I did get the downpipe gleaming once, however it browns over in days. To get the staining off, either a lot of elbow grease or could cheat and use a dremel with a polishing tool on it.

I tried a dremel. I'm either using the wrong tool or wrong polishing stuff as I found it did virtually nothing. Pity as I was hoping it would be a nice shortcut to a shiny downpipe.
I now want to now how you get black stuff to look black. I'm guessing polish of some sort?

Downpipes with a mirror finish shine and NO elbow grease... Now that's priceless!

Sorry guys! New to biking so please excuse if this is a question that has been asked UP'teen times!
What the heck is AUTOSOL? and what form does it come in, Can/spray, Tube/paste etc....
ALSO, does anyone know of a firm that will send it to NZ???
Crashbungs too. I got some put on from the place I bought the bike and to be honest I'm sure they are in the wrong place. ANY INFO regarding where they should go on a CURVY S will be great ta, AND OR any info on which ones I SHOULD BUY to replace the BOB ones that the garge put on???
kwak zzr
28-06-07, 09:33 PM
autosol is a german(i think) polishing paste which comes in a tube(like tooth paste), very good for all metals, it costs about £2.50 - £5.00 depending on where you buy it from, most car shops, bike shops and halfords sell it, its also for sale on ebay.
rubbing downpipe now with autosol looking the dogs do das but arm about to colapse though !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very impressive autosol abuse! I was wondering if once you give something an ample amount of autosol how long it stays clean and does it stop the crud sticking to it? I've just got a brand new k6 sport and am hoping to keep it shiny! Cheers.

Steel wool dipped in Autosol. That makes swift work of getting brown stuff off downtubes. Works a treat on my Daytona's stainless downtubes
I now want to now how you get black stuff to look black. I'm guessing polish of some sort?
Pop into Hein Gericke and buy some of their own brand clear leather grease (it's beeswax for waterproofing and conditioning leathers). Use it on a 1 inch paintbrush on black plastics and then buff off with a dry cloth. Brings brake calipers and satin black painted parts up a treat too.
Trust me, my Daytona is almost totally black so I've discovered ways to keep it looking good.
can you clean owt metal with autosol i think im onto summat ere
Yes, but you'll need the second item down on this page if you want any bike to look like Mr Cuz's.
