I need shares in AutoGlym...

Right,

Getting obsessed now

Spent 3 hours washing the bike, with Autoglym Body Shampoo, then Autoglym Super Resin Polish, and then Extra Gloss Protector..

Went over the screen/trim with Autoglym Fast Glass

Wheels / Side / Centre Stand / Gear Lever were sprayed with Holts Motorcycle Degreaser and then hosed off repeatedly

Not as clean as I'd like, but I got bored and it started to spit, which was messing up my polishing.

I bought my gsxr in March and I've cleaned it once. Laughing

Doesn't appeal, don't you get bored of polishing?

Nice start.

because of my white wheels cleaning my bike without polish takes 2-3 hours. when the new body works on and the red rims are done i can reduce clean time and spend more time with the polish! Very Happy

very nice btw toby. looks hell loads better after a good wash and polish mate Thumbs Up

looks good mate Thumbs Up

Have a look at https://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/ for cleaning products, loads more stuff on there which in majority is better than a few of the AG products Thumbs Up

Look on there for wax's/polishes, quite pricey but worth it as you wont have to clean it half as much if you top it off with a nice wax Wink

https://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wax/victoria-wax-3oz-concours-wax/prod_312.html Looks pricey but that will last ages if your just using it on a bike

I dont rate Megs scratch X either, ive used it on my car repeatedly and it hasnt really taken away any of the swirling/scratch's

https://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/complete-detailing-kits/swirlbuster-polish-and-pad-kit/prod_172.html thats good its just a tad expensive Laughing

I'd say from experience that it's not worth spending over the odds for a range of cleaning products on a day to day bike - the increase in price just isn't worth it.

If you're analistic when it comes to cleaning bikes to try and attain a true 'mint' condition though...
