Bike cleaning - All Year Biker

[patrick]

Took my newly AYB cleaned GTR out today.

Got home and ran the pressure washer over it (gently from afar) and now it's as good as new again.

I've decided to get my bike done. God knows it deserves it.
The nearest to me is Steve from Wirral. Has anyone used him in the past or can point me to any reviews?

Blimey !! I want to see this amazing event ... can you get us pictures of "Before" and "after" ??

This bring a whole new meaning to spring cleaning.

I agree it will be an event to behold but it won't last. The friend of ours who took the remaining slot when we hosted an event cleans his bike about as often as Kwik. I saw his bike in Belgium last weekend - it's rot!

Mind you, he better than I did. We had four bikes done. One was sold shortly afterwards, the GTR spent most of the Winter in the garage and is now in a dealers for selling and the other two haven't left the garage all Winter. We didn't have either of the two bikes we're currently using so they haven't been treated.

I know a lot of guys say dont use warm or hot water to wash off salt... Im the opposite
I use hot water, It dissolves salt far more effectively than cold.. put salt in a cup of cold or hot water stir and watch....
I also have a boat that always gets washed in hot water.. 10 years on looks metal work like new.
My gtr has not rusted, But i do use plenty of water...

I always use hot water, it just shifts the grime easier and finally I'll rinse the bike off with a hose & cold water.

Patrick ... those pictures on the link are certainly impressive .. looks very good indeed

Just found out there's a guy near me that does this. I think I shall investigate! :)

How much does this service cost?

[Kwikasfuki]

60 quid. Fancy getting yours done?

60 quid. Fancy getting yours done?

If you host a cleaning event (as I did) you get your own bike for half price

Mines not that bad at the moment. Tend to clean it at least once a week unless it gets really shitted up after a ride like I had today. Then I clean it straight away. Why cant all days be like yesterday, sun & dry roads, etc?
