we clayed the bike last year maybe ? and fuck all come up, iron x and fuck all happened! lol.
only issue i get with the bike is the paint swirls to easily as its soo soft and thin. but then it removes them just as quick B-)
come down to plymouth and ill let you take her for a blast

Looks good. I've never had anything off a bike with clay. I think it's probably as they don't cover many miles and spend most of their lives in a garage?

i ride the 6er quite hard - when i ride it so its always getting shit flicked all over it! but still, 2 years old and only done 2.5k lol. unlike my 7 year old xjr thats done the same milage haha.
when the bike is out, it'll get rinsed/washed once a week to keep it up to its best anyway.

Missed your cleaning session threads Mikey 
Think of all the free time you'd have if Tonts didn't bully you into cleaning his stuff all the time

i think next time i will use something to try and give it abit more "gloss" so some menzerna 85re on a DA and / or glazed with Blackhole.
seeing as this was just a quick enhancement - its made the world of difference to the paint work. owned the car 12 months now, and hadnt ever really washed it.

Suppose flies and general road shit washes off pretty easy? And if you after a good shine try Prima Amigo. Best stuff I've used and best on black cars. I've seen a comparison against black hole and it's better.
