As always, an excellent job Mike.
I'll need to get on to mine during the week and hopefully it'll just need a wee touch up on Sunday morning. |

The joy of bugs is that their digestive juices eat through most waxes and polishes very well. The only thing that worked for me was 8000 miles worth of winter road salt and crud on the fairing of my cbr. Come summer they just didn't stick. Why that bike ended up nicked I'll never understand, for a new bike it was a complete filth box. Thanks for reminding me Mike, must get one of these tomorrow. Bill PS Very pretty by the way, you wait till you see mine, you will gag.:ROFL: |
So this is what my ming blue is going to look like! Have to say ming suits the PF more then the FL +++
