Yeah ... where are the interns?

There may, just may, be a picture of the Cormanus CB after a rainy week in the bush coming to post near you all too soon.

I call this "Xeno's paradox of vehicle detailing." Bike looks great, Ferret.

RE: Now don't faint - the Ferret - 04-11-2017

it's not as clean as it looks in the pics, but like I said I am a rider not a polisher. Wish I had taken a pre wash pic. It was disgusting.

Tomorrow or the day after I will get caught in the rain and it will be back to disgusting again. It's inevitable.

just noticed right rear turn signal looks crooked in that pic. Hmmm wonder how to fix that?

Not really, better than the alternative lol.

Looks good from this angle Ferret.

So what is the latest and greatest recommended for cleaning them header pipes taking them from gold/brown to chrome-like?

Yours are looking pretty sharp. Thumbs Up

RE: Now don't faint - the Ferret - 04-11-2017

Mine ARE chrome lol. Spray with Bike Bright, rub with some 0000 steel wool, rinse, dry, hit them with some chrome polish. If they weren't chrome like the stds, I think I would have that coating that Chip Beck has put on them when I got a little down time.

Today's ride was 38 miles in the rain. Glad I took the ST lol.

Shine on crrazy diamond. I know what I'm writing about.
I like mine to shine too. Always. Kills some of the time, that
could be used riding the diamond. So I make compromises.

Looks great Ferret! Flat on your back cleaning underneath? I never even thought to look under the bike, lol.

RE: Now don't faint - Cormanus - 04-11-2017

Ferret, you've done a great job. I need a hand cleaning mine now.
