Thanks.
Great information.
Use Purple polish always.
but did find a thread in here by R+R cycles on how they clean the bikes and tried it.
Bike came up like new and then I used Purple polish on it.
Dam thing near blinded me it was that bright. The Chrome has a deep luster now and I think even better than original.
Paint came up a treat as well and has a brilliance that is deep.
The bare aluminium parts that tarnish with time came back to looking like new and even some crap that I couldn't remove came off.
Thanks to R+R for their cleaning tip and purple polish for the shiny bits.
Will say I wouldn't do it the R+R way more than once every few months.
But Purple polish I use every 2 months or 4 washes.
spanner dont know how to insert link. But here is where it is found on this forum.

Hope this helps
Cheers mate.
Ok ok so on everyone's recommendation I ordered the M Glass and the Purple and today tried it for the first time. Didn't I have the S**ts! What an ordeal. Took me about an hour and a half and that Purple is messy. To everyone who stopped for a chat I said "Never again". I'm just not one of those people who enjoys cleaning the bike and would never buy a boat for the "fun" of stuffing around on it with maintenance all weekend.
Then...
I...
buffed...
if off.
HOLY S**T!!!!!!!
Never seen anything like it. You were all so right. I never saw this bike new but no way could it have looked this good. I was totally gobsmacked. I also bought the Spray Shine so I'm hoping that will keep it in nice nick between the full job which I'm hoping might only be quarterly. Whatever...this stuff is the goods. (And the service from the QLD distributer was terrific).
Can't believe how good it is. Thanks for the advice.
MASTER FORMULA...................................http://www.master-formula.com/english.htm
Heres the old girl after application.
Been using this shit for years............Sealer gloss on paint. Metal gloss and Sealer gloss on alloy and chrome.
Only available in the States, they ship worldwide.
The sealer is exceptionally good. I only polished bike every 6 months or so, but every time I washed it, everyone thought I had polished it again!!
Check out the wetback in the video.....he'll tell you how good it is! Take note of the Ebay warning!!!! Some dodgy buggers around!
Don't use it a lot now...........God Bless Matt Black powdercoat!!
Photo doesn't really do it justice, was taken in the shade!
Good product though. The metal gloss works great on good quality surfaces but bear in mind that because it is supposedly non-abrasive, it aint gonna polish up rougher surfaces real good. Better to use an abrasive polish 1st on those neglected areas (autosol, mothers,etc.) then hit with 50%metal gloss / 50% sealer gloss for a long lasting shine.
As I said.....after washing dirt away, it looks as tho you've polished again!
Burto.
