Default I Love Autosol!

Tough choice today. Use the lovely weather to ride, or to give the SV a much needed clean. I chose door number two and got the hose out. My wheels used to have a mirror finish on the outer rims until the winter got hold of them and grubbed them out. However, I waged war on the grime today armed with fine steel wool, Autosol and a pile of elbow grease and... result!

Shiny!

Easy mate. This stuff takes time. Take one job at a time as its not that easy to get a mirror finish without scratches. Loads of elbow grease.
Check out my top yoke,

In the summer, when i have time and a garage, I'll autosol up my SV good and proper. Ok, not Kwak good and proper, but it'll shine again

I gotta say, i was skeptical about autosol at first. Then I used it on my 'zorst, and it came out brilliant. Top stuff

Autosol robs you of riding time. I have used it once and have since vowed to only use it when I can't ride. It does an amazing job but you can get hooked on the shininess of thing (Kwak)

Gotta agree. I could have been out swinging bends but instead there I was on my knees polishing wheels.

I'm glad you folks like 'em though, thanks for the kind comments! I did manage to get out today too so that made up for yesterday. My sparkly bike drew some nice attention. I think it's worth the effort!

It's a safety thing too. After spending hours scrubbing and polishing I'm even less keen on throwing her in the hedge...
