Meh, that downpipe ain't shiny enough! Needs a bit more effort

Well done. Its rather shiny. In fact I feel shamed that my super polished bikes are filthy dirty.

Hangs head in shame and skulks off to find the autosol!

wow. I never really liked curveys but the job you have done has made me start to swing to the smoother side of things.

it must your love for shiney bits and bobs. Now one important thing to do is never forget to carry a rag under your seat with a small bottle of autosol. Whenever you stop for a cuppa its a quick wipe down of the shiney bits to rmeove any road grime and youll keep her looking pristine for a long time.

if people look at you like your wierd whilst your doing it just tell them Blueto does this all the time its fineeee

No chance of them ever Rusting , the wheels contain no ferrous material in them . They stand every chance of Oxidizing though , regular polishing will stop that , treating with Belgom-Alu will help prevent Oxidizing and Lacquering them also helps as well to help cut down on man-hours with a cloth and Solvol Autosol .

I think Liam Lacquered them , I can`t remember now through all these posts and months and months .......... epic ...... journey ...... must.......end.....sooon .
