I will give it a try. I have already had my bike treated by all year biker about 6 weeks ago.

 Cheers for the the replies, think I need to get some brushes and some wheel cleaner. Just wish the wheel casting was smooth in the centre of the wheels as it would make cleaning so much easier.

I cleaned my GTR yesterday after a 500mile motorway trip as it was black with road salt. My GTR has silver wheels and what ever I tried i cant get the centre rough parts of he wheels clean. Just wondering what other people use the clean their wheels.

Why Kawasaki painted the wheels silver I will never know, there is only one colour for wheels and that is black :cheesy:. I am going to get mine powder coated black in the spring, hopefully this will help hide some of the road grime

I've used all year biker on both my GTR and my girlfriends SV, our bikes get used all year in all weathers and the acf50 protection works really well, just power wash the bike down and they look like new again.

I had Steve from all year biker come round and give my girlfrends SV and my GTR the full treatment on monday.  Have to say Steve did a brilliant job, my bike looked like it had just come out of the showroom when he had finished :clap:.


I have ridden it all week through the rubbish weather we have had, it is still nice and clean as it seems none of the crap will stick to it.  only bit that looks slightly dirty is the front wheel from the brake dust :grin:

Hi, i actually live and work in Preston and travel down to Guildford to visit family.  Merrow is about 5 miles away from my parents house where i stay.

I have had my GTR just over and a week now and did my first commute down to guildford yesterday, it was so easy, managed to do it on one tank of fuel as well, so really pleased :grin:.

My GTR is a '09 in silver

Wow! that looks like a great service, i will definitly get mine done as it will be used all year in all weathers.  We use ACF50 at work on the hawks, corrosion on aircraft is a big no no, so i know this stuff works

Hi everyone, I will be picking up my GTR this coming Tuesday, really excited, but going to be a big change for me, only ever ridden sport bikes before and do most of my riding on the track and commuting to work.

The reason for me getting the GTR is that I travel from Preston to Guildford every two weeks and I fed up with £120 fuel bills every time (Volvo v70 petrol :sad:) and sitting in traffic jams. Plus my girlfriend has just passed her test so I have started doing a lot more road riding with her and I want the comfort that the GTR gives.
