just stop by wheelers and clean your shit there. just buy something from the guy tight asses.

sorry I have no fing clue who you guys are. anyway that bmw is impressive

i'm impressed by your bmw. i'd never think those could go through the gap that well. the tc was working overtime though lol. that's about as fast I can go through there on my R6 but no traction control at all on those.

so the turtle wax ice seal n shine is NOT a "ceramic" wax. it's just a synthetic and carnauba wax mix. I did go ahead and use some even though I put 2 layers of the 3m car show wax on it. I didn't feel like washing the bike etc to get it off before I used it. it's a clear liquid and it doesn't leave anything on black plastic trim etc. or glass or the windscreen. so it's easy to use. and if it works like it does for the guy on youtube that couldn't wash it off with acid wheel cleaner it's worth 3 times more than it's $7 price tag.

I also seen a few of those YouTube videos. There's a guy that goes by pan the organizer. He did a video featuring 3 brands ceramic wax. turtle was ice vs Meguiars ceramic vs mother's cmx. Then he used harsh cleaners to see which wax came off easiest. The Meguiars came off with the first cleaner. A basic cleaner. Mother's came off a little bit that first time. Then he moved on to even stronger cleaner. Meguiars and mother's were both gone. Then he moved onto acid wheel cleaner. The turtle wax was still working. Clearly turtle wax is far superior to both and is $7 vs $15 for Meguiars and $21 for mother's. I'm going to get some today

I've tried the bike spirits polish before. The Dupont works better on the plastics. The Dupont leaves them more wet looking. The bike spirits just cleans but looks dry. It's like cleaning your dash in the car vs cleaning the dash and having armor all on it. It's not a greasy wet look. More of a sheen. They work about the same on paint.

ok so woolich returned my pc count back to 0 after I explained what I did and why. but they never responded to my questions as to why does it lock me out after a set amount of time etc. i've read the terms of use and nowhere does it say I will be automatically kicked off the system after a period of time of non use. oh well, they will have to respond to the offices of Dave Yost lol.

as you can see the silver part on my lower fairing. I don't know if it's considered a matte finish or just textured. it's relatively smooth to the touch. not like some of the matte stuff I've seen before. like on helmets. but the polish works good on it.

I like the makita 6" sander myself. leaves no streaks!

since you all got the last thread closed about washing your bikes I had to make this one. that thread got me thinking. so i decided to try a few things from the store. been watching some of the videos on all the latest "ceramic" waxes available. So I headed down to wallyworld and bought the Meguiar's hybrid ceramic wax. just get to the point, it sucks. and I want my money back lol I have a 2015 R1 that has 7k miles on it. it lives in a garage. I washed and clay bared the bike and the wax wouldn't even barely bead water. and that's what this stuff is supposed to be very good at. some spots wouldn't even bead water at all. save your money folks. it's garbage. so while at wallyworld I also seen a motorcycle polish and a motorcycle detailer made by DuPont. the polish has teflon to repel dirt. I have not got a chance to test this out. however after my sunday ride it did clean all the bugs off the painted parts and the plastic parts with no hard rubbing. I did my rims with it too just to see if it repels dirt. my rear rim is always dirty as fuck after a 150 mile ride. it did also bring off the chain lube on the bike and rim with ease. and leaves the black plastic parts showroom new looking. it doesn't streak on the painted parts nor the clear windscreen. the price was almost $6 a can and is a 12oz can. so not real cheap. but I'm very happy with how clean and dark it leaves the plastics and frame parts. I have not used the Matte detailer yet. I'll continue the reviews after I ride the bike and clean it again with the detailer. here is the results of the meguiars here are the DuPont products I'm currently testing. very happy with the showroom polish so far.

I have progressive. totalled a car by hitting it with my bike and they lowered my rate $10 lol. not even joking. happened in 2005.

this is starting to appear that I have possibly caused all this mayhem unknowingly by changing my SSD drive and re-installing windows. It looks like they keep track of the pc via the computer name. I changed it just for experimentation and viola, kick out again.

after seeing a youtube video about xpel ceramic coating I kind of want to get it done to my bike. mainly down at the front fairing behind the front wheel. it gets beat up by rocks a lot. they apply a paint protection film to the bodywork then a ceramic coating on top of it. watch it repel mud and self heal scratches,

I had a joke but thought better of it...
