Default Interesting site.

OK, even though it is not quite an MC site...

I was at a bro's house last week, and one of his friends was there as well. Seeing as how we all ride, the conversation soon turned to bikes. One subject brought up was care for our scoots. Well, this dude owns an auto detail shop (Not quite like in the following link) so he was telling us about waxes, and such. One of the most interesting things he told us, was the Pledge trick for getting bugs off paint.

A BIG NO!!! Words from an expert. He says it works, but it's not good for paint. He suggested Poorboys Bug Squash. To illustrate his point, he showed us a forum for detailers...

Now, if they use that on a 200K Hand-Painted Lamborghini Gallardo, the stuff would be great for your bike.

I also wanna check out some of the other polishes/waxes they use.
