It's the legacy from my Stag. They covered my bike in gay pride stickers which all came off lovely but these won't. It's not the end of the world to be honest, it's a pleasant reminder of how awesome my Stag was :)

I've just ordered some panel wipe/degreaser and some Crows Foot wipes. That degreaser is amazing on the bikes.

I bought Gtechniqs panel wipe which I was impressed with. Is yours in a bottle or in the form of a baby wipe?

What do you use yours for?

Nice. That stuffs ideal for you with your silicone based Gtechniq C2.

Surfex HD is what I use as my degreaser and it's brilliant. I do need to up the concentration from 1:10 for chain grease though. It does okay with oil at that dilution though.

I've been using Surfex HD as a bucket wash for the bikes. It seems to do the job.

Crikey.. no shampoo? I'm using Carpro Reset for my shampoo now. It's very lubricating but cleans well. No extras in there either so it just resets the paint back to its last lot of protection.

I did add surfex hd to a prewash the otherday, that works nice.

They don't need washing twice. They'll only get dirty again when I use them.

Just drove the car to work and noticed a great big bird sh1t down the whole of the rear quarter and I had just cleaned it today (swear)

Had nothing to clean it with, so improvised and used my sock, and binned it (facepalm)

Dryer sheets are great for wheels. Not new ones mind...after they've been through the dryer.....they're great for getting road grime off the wheels. Abrasive without being damaging.

It's always the way.. if a bird is gonna crap on your car it's within days. At least you found an alternate use for your cum sock (puke)

Now there's some imagery I probably could have done without.
Thanks for that, Cav.

Of a female taking a dump from on top of the carbon fiber roof ?

Or Blade masturbating over his car and leaving the cum sock in the vehicle for future use?
