Keep your ST1100s grey bits dark and shiny..
« on: September 16, 2012, 06:19:53 PM »
If you've got an 1100 and want your grey plastic bits to look dark and shiny again I can recommend Turtle Wax Premium Trim Restorer...http://www.turtlewax.com/product-detail.aspx?prodid=64

I have no affiliation with Turtle Wax and I'm not being paid, I just know that this stuff has restored the grey plastic on my bike and has kept it looking good for ages, I use it every time I give the bike a full going over.. maybe twice a year. The best way is to let the plastic get warm by sitting the bike in the sun and then applying the product and letting it soak in for a while before polishing off.

Hmmm.  I'm looking at that big grey beard and   :think1

For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott
