The monster looks like it's selling on Sunday mate, got a chap who's coming to see it. Price agreed etc.
I've already picked up my new one... really chuffed with it. Off touring next Tuesday.

Is that the 1200? What's it go like compared to your 798 monster?
A friend is trying to book the S1000 R for a test ride. He's in the MET so gets a nice discount on a new BMW bike

It certainly is mate! The monster was the 696, both totally different animals to ride, but overall I far prefer the BMW. I already feel more confident on it than the Ducati and with some practice you can tell you can really get a move on if you want to!
I test rode the s1000r as one of the options for a new bike for me, but this won by miles. I genuinely found the s1kr too fast, and basically felt it'd kill me. The R Nine T I have now had me smiling like crazy even during the three hour test ride.
CarPro Inside does this!
I have just bought some of this mate, ive got my old bosses Porsche Panamera hybrid to clean at the weekend. :smiley:
That looks amazing. Any idea what's in it? As in, what does it feel like, cream/liquid based etc?CarPro Inside does this!
I thought you were a basic soapy water fan.
Its a spray on liquid mate.

I'm using Megs wheel brightener at the moment and it's brilliant.

Game the car some chemical guys glaze and wait for it..... Turtle wax hard shell paste. One of the lads in work had it so thought I'd try it. The tw stuff is soooo easy to use. Beads well and looks great. No idea on durability but I clean the car every week
Awaits the hate regarding turtle wax

Beading looks pretty decent. I've seen the turtle wax ice spray wax is pretty good at beading and sheeting as a top up product
The problem with those type of brands they're either easy enough to use but only last a month, or are very hardy but that is then reflected in how much of a pain they are to apply and remove.

Got this 50/50 today, 2 years on a really s**t industrial estate really f***s with your paint!
First few passes with an aggressive pad and wolfs 5pn compound finished with carpro essense, could do with even more refining tbh but in happy as I didn't think I'd be able to rescue it!

Thanks bud.
I've been using the Megs stuff for years but as I'm just about to order some more I think I will give this a go. [emoji106]

At £5 a can it's decent value too. A little spray goes a long way.
How imperative is it to allow gtechniq G1 and C5 to set for 24 hours? Just done my wheels and glass and it's rained a little. The wheels didn't get wet. The glass I wiped dry once it stopped and it was beading well. I need to apply another two coats anyway but hoping I've not fucked the base coat...

Never had it rain between layers of g1 but had it happen shortly after finishing and it was ok. Not sure about the C5
