bike valeting service

[stokeheingeri...]

would you pay someone to clean your bike?
properly not just a bucket job.

a guy in stoke has just started to do bike valets and i was wondering how many people would use this kind of service..?

gotta say the results do look stunning when he has finished.my bike wasnt this clean when i bought it brand new..

now as you can tell i am one of the lazy buggers who cant be arsed to do a proper good job of cleaning my own bike..

money well spent in my opinion...

Nope.

You want a job doing right. do it yourself.

Then again, my policy is, my bike is to be riden, and not spotlessly clean.

It does not got noticably faster when clean, and still gets me from A2B just the same...

The only thing i do notice is that when i do clean it, it gets dirty again, where as if i leave it dirty it looks no diffrent
So why waste your time cleaning it....

No, not only am i cleaning the bike but i'm also making sure the bike is 100% maintaince-wise. would a valeter see if any of fastnerers were about to break? does he check the brake pads? discs? tyres? chain? shocks? leaks? fluid levels? brake lines? chain? sprockets? signs of corrosion? or damaged fairings?

Hi

Could be tempted occasionally. Doing a proper job can take ages, and there are plenty of things I would rather do than wash a bike.

All the best

I take mine to the local "hand car wash", pay my £3 and a team of turks run round with sponges, hosepipes and cloths for five minutes.

Job done

Might do. Especially if I was looking to sell the bike in question.

It would depend on how much they charged and how long they took. How much did it cost, how long did it take, and what was the bike, and how dirty was it to start with? Got any piccies?

jetwash does me while its cold and i want it to sparkle (making sure not damage anything!) Once over with the soap then spray it down, quick and cheap!

Summer months i'll get it apart and do it properly, taking time and getting a tan!

Wouldn't spend £20 odd quid for a professional valet but could be tempted when going to sell it!

Who's that in stoke mate? They got a web advert or anything? How much do they charge.

I'd be interested on the odd occassion, sometimes I just cannot be arsed clean it.

[craigs23]

Hmmm...now, I wonder...

[tsmith]

pay someone? hell no.

i spray mine with FS365 and the only time it gets washed is before the MOT.

It works. Very little rust.

[arry]

Too bloody right I would.

[Flip]

Like this you mean?

Let us know who they are and how much they charge please.

Sometimes I love cleaning my bike, but most of the time I just can't be arsed with cleaning, which is why I still haven't prepped the two 7Rs for sale.

Might be worth it to me just as a way to spur me on in getting the other bikes sold instead of hooning around on the new one.

By the way, I popped in to Stoke HG to buy some cleaning stuff on Saturday, and it's still sitting at work waiting to be used!

If they have the brushes and tools to get in the gaps I can't get at then definately. I wash the Fut at least once a week, if not twice but not having access to a hosepipe makes doing stuff like the shock a huge pita.
