and you think you have it hard when cleaning!

[edgeydt50]

well the sun was out and my folks are on holiday so i thought i would give my dad a treat for when he comes home. I cleaned his bike! This is his daily commuter all year round, just shows with a bit of spit and polish and plenty of elbow grease it can be done! Took about five hours from start to finish washing, preping, polishing, waxing etc etc...then polishing the chrome!
There is obviously room for improvement but for a daily hack i didnt think it came out to badly, got me away from my dissertation for another morning if nothing else!!
opinions welcome!
