Like a car wash thing. 5 euros a go. Do you have these in the UK?

Never tried it, a bit unsure. Worried about direct jets on my clocks especially as the reset button has fallen out so it's a bit exposed.

Will go tonight and take pics.

I've never seen anything like it..


I just had my bike done by All Year Biker, he spent about 2.5 hours cleaning it then ACF50'd it. Was a lot more than 5 Euros though Sad

The only place you might possibly get that is in London, but I'd very much doubt it. We have plenty of hand car washes that would probably direct a power washer at your electrics, staffed by... well, that's probably one for Politics and Current Affairs. Whistle

All Year Biker is an interesting one. I've often wondered who would pay £65 for a wash and ACF-50 for their pride and joy, but then ride it through the winter. Now I know. Wink

2 1/2 hours cleaning though, sounds like he did earn the money. The Nazi Tractor will probably get its annual bucket of tepid water in October then another layer of ACF-50.

It was only £60 Wink - And it was filthy, caked in crap - he earned his money, bike looks like new again. Centre stand also works properly now too Very Happy

I could have done it myself but I'd have only done half a job and I'm not OCD enough to get it like he did.

2l garden sprayer with watered down muckoff, 5l sprayer with clean water. Microfibre cloth gentle wipe of paintwork, cheap tesco alloy wheel brush for everything else. Let it dry in the shade, then acf 50 everything that i should use miracle shine wax on but usually dont. Neighbor says its the laziest way he's ever seen anyone wash a bike. It works and the actual effort involved on my part is minimimal.
