^^ It's more of something to do tbh
But I also enjoy polishing my cars, not religiously but as and when.
Besides I've only had a SV for about 1 month, so when I take the fairing off for my cleanup, it will be good chance to properly look over the bike

What did you use Heefy?
I've got some Optiglanz and metal polish, planning to use a brillo pad and and wet n dry.
You clean anything else besides the down pipe with Optiglanz?
Looks brilliant
