Once the bike has been washed with our wash n shine shampoo, it can then be prepped. For the bike in the picture which is 3 years old and was in a poor condition, prepping time was 40 minutes including the wheels. Once prepped, the bike was glazed which took about ten minutes. The glaze was left to dry for 5 minutes and reapplied. Once the bike has had its second coat of glaze, a damp cloth was wiped all over the glazed areas.
This process we recommend you to repeat once a year to enable the bike to remain looking pristine and showroom new. As you can see from the pictures, the old paintwork which was dull came up looking brand new.
The seating area was then cleaned and sealed with the Vinyl & Leather Protector. This is sprayed onto the seat and wiped over with a dry cloth. This protects the seating area from stains and spillages.
The helmet was then cleaned with Crystal Vision on the visor and the body of the helmet was prepped and glazed. Crystal vision turns the polycarbonate on the visor hydrophobic which enables rain/water to hit the visor and simply run off. Crystal vision reduces staining from rain water and also makes the visor easier to clean as no bugs, dirt or grime can bond to the surface so they can simply be wiped off.
Crystal vision only needs to be applied once every six months and is available in a 110ml bottle. When riding along in the rain, crystal vision means you will still be able to see as the rain simply beads and runs off the visor.
There is enough wash n shine shampoo left in the kit to maintain the bike all year round. For the exhaust areas, the prep and sealant can also be used to reduce staining from exhaust fumes. Our alloy wheel cleaner and protector can be used on the wheels of the bike to reduce staining from brake dust.
