I knew that; can you cope with all of the 400GB bikes by yourself though? Besides, 3 pairs of hands are better than one! ;)

Please delete this post, my OCD for bike polishing makes me want to drive to your place and sort it out!
Pah, it actually gives someone with OCD a proper excuse to clean a bike so regularly.* ;)

ive got a fair few trick bits that ive been wanting to fit for for a while now, (powder coated fork lowers, overhauled calipers, carb refresh kit) that ive simply not had the time to fit since taking a new apprentice job (workin six days a week mostly) so this could be right up my street.
plus, my NC30 is filthy at the minute, would love to see her OCD cleaned :-)

I drove two hours away last night to get some nice trick pipes for my latest project I got in at 9pm and got the pipes in to my garage. I then sprayed them heavily with wd40 and had a glass of wine and dinner with the family! I then snuck out and wiped the pipes down with scotchbrite, once clean I then gunkd them and left them another hour I then sprayed them with motorex protect and shine. I then used Johnsons baby lotion on the carbon cans which brings the weave back to life and stops the carbon going crispy once they were nice I sprayed them too with motorex!

Once done I placed them in the corner wrapped in a blanket awaiting to be cleaned properly!!

This is normal right!!! :?

Johnsons baby lotion
I hadn't tried that trick before... might give it a whirl.
