I've seen what a good job they do, and I'm thinking of treating the GTR to a pampering session as I'll be using it through the winter to get to work
:cool:
I get several of our bikes done every year at an event I have at home and they will be here in a couple of weeks.
It's worth the money just to have the bikes thoroughly cleaned once a year rather than the quick wash and brush up they usually get (although I'm sure LW will disagree with me!). The ACF50 application is a bonus.

Ive just been looking at the site and think Im going to get it done..
Just booked baby in for a Manicure & Pedicure and Full Treatment.. :banana:
I bought a bike to avoid the cleaning :banana: getting someone else to clean sounds like a really good idea :clap:
If you ride all year ACF50 is a must, if you store your bike in the winter its also great at protecting it. I've used it on my last 3 bikes and its great stuff, had this treatment last year and its good, but does need 'topping up' if you do a lot of miles.
You can see my pics from this thread when I had it done.
Well worth the money

You certainly made him work for it :rolleyes:
TBH I do my own cleaning and am fortunate to have good storage facilities in the Rev Shed :wink:
You cant beat a bucket of hot soapy water with plenty of Fairy Liqued and a non abrasive pan scub, brings the bike up a treat........ :whistling:
On the other hand, maybe not. :mfr_lol:
I give the bike a spray of FS365 every now and again - is ACF50 similar stuff? If anyone has tried bth I'd be intersted in their opinion on the preference.

I've got a gallon of FS365 in the garage.... the difference is you need to apply that every time you go for a ride as it washes off.... ACF50 coats the bike and stays on ....
Thanks Bryn - appreciated
As I posted on a another thread on here a while back, I use AllYearBiker (I use Nigel in Newbury) twice a year for mine. I do 16k a year all through winter, and as you can see from the pics, I am not a prolific bike washer.
Personally, I do think the ACF50 helps a lot.

Is the idea then that you have the ACF50 applied and basically forget about cleaning the bike until spring? would washing it take off the coating ?

I have had baby done today and I am very pleased with her.. Well worth the £60 to protect her from corrosion. :grin:
Looks like new :cool:
Did they bring the shelter with them?
I went to the guys house to have it done. :grin:

Yes it is me and I wasn't meant to be looking a bit apprehensive. I was so impressed I started to fall in love with baby all over again. [Not that I had stopped] :mfr_lol:
Your bike didnt look that dirty in the first place compared with some! :whistling:

Yes I know, but I didnt go to have it cleaned. I went to get the ACF50 put on but before that can happen they make sure ALL the dirt is off. :grin:
Just booked mine in for Friday with Andy in Hinckley....
And he's got a 1400 GTR himself :yes:
Just got back from having the All Year Biker treatment courtesy of Andy, who has the franchise at Hinckley....
3 hours he took :cool: At that rate he sure isn't making any money at it ... well impressed with the bike when he'd finished too.... I like clean bikes but he took it to another level :clap:

With regards to cleaning, a dirty Debs means its been ridden hard, a clean Debs means it looks lovely, mine is black, clean and looks lovely, until next weekend in France and Belgium when it's going to be dirty.
More cleaning on the Monday for me then.
