Bike cleaning and anti-corrosion treatments

#1 Post by Nooj » Tue Jan 19, 2010 8:25 pm

SALT!

It's all over the roads all throughout the year, not just in winter. If you want to protect your bike from it then I can help as I am an AllYearBiker motorcycle anti-corrosion franchise owner.

Incase you are wondering, this is what you'll get for your readies:

Initial washdown

Degreasing, getting rid of the oily goo
Image

Washing off the degreaser
Image

Go ahead dirt, make my day!
Image

Foam cleaner, taking off the lightweight filth and road traffic film
Image

Another wash down, taking off the foam and the last of the dirt
Image

Into the garage to be dried off
Image

Masking off the tyres and brakes
Image

Spraying on the magic jizz
Image

High pressure mist gets into all the places you can't normally reach when applying it by hand
Image

Final shine with our own PTFE wax
Image

UPDATE: I am now able to do a mobile service where I come to you. See my last post in this thread for more details.

It's the V-twin thing. There's just something about it that inline-4s don't have at all, and V-4s don't have enough of.

Hmmm would be rude not to as I am just round the corner from you. Two big questions though,

1. how much?

2. bearing in mind that I may need some paintwork redoing in the the future, is it likely to cause me all manner of headaches when I come to get this done?

Hope it works out well for you.

Is it a "come to you" service or do you run a mobile service like your mate?
If so, how far do you go? (obviously not all the way on a first date ...)

I could post this up on the Coventry Bikers forum if that would help.

How about seeing what interest there would be for some Ridersite forum group bookings? - the added incentive to meet up might be good.

likewise on the price question
and how long for each bike?

as for venue - outside griffs place would be good if we can get enough falcos there......

(ie pick a date folks and lets get it on....price permitting of course!)


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

My back yard, my jizz, it goes where ever I choose :smt003

Price is £60 per bike, sounds a lot, but NO ONE who's had it done has complained about the price after seeing the results, a couple of people have even said we should charge more! Takes me two hours a bike, it's been said a couple of times now that I'm doing a better job than that the guy that started it up and some customers are travelling the extra distance to me rather than go to their nearest place as they think I do a more thorough job of it!

(edit)
I can also offer a mobile service:
One bike, I'll trundle out 20 miles.
two bikes, I'll drive up to 40 miles.
three bikes, 70 miles.
four bikes, I'll drive up to 120 miles.

Sounds like a meet in Newbury is the way to go .... until you get yourself a trailer to chuck the kit in :smt002

Just a thought, Nooj. Is this something that even fair-weather bikes can benefit from? I doubt my Falco will ever see any salt, but if it makes it easier to do a wash down then it's probably good value anyway...

I have heard it said that the salt can be as bad in the summer months (I guess the spring anyway)

after it has been deposited in winter ans some washes away, a saltr residue dries out at the bottom of the irregularities in the road surface making a very concentrated salt deposit .... spring and summer showers bring it to life to attack the bikes.

Don't know how true this is but it's what I've heard.

You heard right, it is true. Salt is still there months after it's been put down, every time it rains it gets bought back up to the road surface and sprayed onto your bike.

Yes please :smt006 any discount for bulk? :smt002

I'd have to fetch 'em up one at a time though, I'm jobless so can bring them up any day if you're doing weekdays.

(been meaning to get them done for ages)

Good luck Nooj, hope it works out well for you. If I make the Aprilia club day in May I'll be in the queue too
