Clean And Polish

If you've ACF50'd it then you're fine.
I use a VFR as a daily commuter and am not interested in how it looks, but its got a good layer of ACF50 on it so that when the salt goes off the roads and spring arrives I can hose it off and It won't have needlessly rusted away.

If I had a PP Multi I'd certainly invest 30mins in the autumn to stop it dissolving

Which Muc-off products are no good? The pink cleaner stuff, the polish, the protectant or all of it? I use the pink cleaner on the really grubby bits and wash off with water and shampoo and spray non-painted parts including the engine with PTFE protectant/water repellent. Also use PTFE chain lube. The polish I use is Slickmist.
Is this regime no good?

 

if its clean its clean! I went on one of the car detailing forums for advice as there are far more car detailing freaks than there are bike detailers that I could find on the web. Id used collinite wax to coat boats before. Whatever finish you get from wash and polish you can increase longevity by waxing.

I had my 1199 machine polished and sealed, when it was new last year. Now covered 5800 miles and it still looks great.

Ania was clean & Polish, oh, hang on, no, she was dirty and Polish

 

:Yawn:

 

Wow. I wasn't brave enough to do mine.

When I took delivery of my panigale it was scratched to buggery - covered in swirls / hazing etc from poor cleaning / prep. I seriously considered not accepting it. In hindsight I should not have.

I thought about compounding it but decided to leave it as the paint is just so soft, both on the panels and the tank. Made do with hand polishing / compounding the worst of the marks and left the rest.
