Major cleaning
Posted: Mon Nov 07, 2016 7:00 pm
My bike hasnt been cleaned in ages. I bought it about 2 years ago and only had time to clean it once, and it was not a proper cleaning.
This was the result of a 6 hours of work with an air temperature of 10ºC. Polished the plastics and paint, including wheels. Didnt have time to polish the chromed parts (headlight and dash). It still wasnt the result I wanted but it's pretty decent now.
The previous owner had painted the engine cover with cheap paint wich came off when I jet washed the bike ( the degreaser might have helped to), have to repaint it the next time I'll change the oil.
I've polished the pipes last week and, in about three days of riding they turned yellowish, still shiny tough.
