...a couple of weeks back on a thread about some weirdo 'detailing' his Dyson, we joked about using hair shampoo on posh cars.....
...well I decided to have a giggle and try out some Herbal Essences Rainforest flower for dry and damaged hair on my black SV today

Well I have to say its had the best wash its ever had the damn shampoo might be carp on my hair, but it came up trumps on my paintwork. Usually with Autoglym or any other 'motor' shampoo, even after loads of rinsing with the hosepipe, I get white water marks and streaks all over it, today my black paint work didn't have a single mark on it, only needed a couple of buckets of rinse water thrown at it and it was super shiny before I even got the polish on it me and Smudge were laughing our socks off at the results.

I urge everybody to get rid of their unwanted hair shampoo by washing their bike in it
Thanks Kwak

lol Smudge said when he came in the garden oooo something smells nice. Im Indoors said it not only looks like a tarts handbag, it smells like one. Then said I needed to put some perfume on the radiator, so everyone could smell my bike on the road...sily person

if u look on car shampoo and hair shampoo and washing up liquid lots of the ingredients are the same.

my cage smells loverly.

have to watch washing up liquid though think they contain salt what is this streaking aint this what polish is for mind you it does take an age to do properly.

and washing up liquid is a de greaser so will strip bearings and spacers of there grease, i recommend not using this.

I'm pretty certain W.U.L. is bad for paintwork.

prob is but on a car the paint would be strong enuf, bike plastics another matter.
