Vulcanet, Cleaning Up My Act

My pride and joy, restored

I was dismayed to find a request for my books for ’24 from my accountant. Apparently there completion and delivery was quite urgent indeed. So I promptly went out for a spin on my bike instead.

As I was on my way back to the house I was quite aware that the accounts still needed my attention. Therefore I stopped off to wash the beast as it was getting a little dusty. Then I rode home and blew the water off the bike on the way. This may or may not have involved exceeding the sacred speed limit.

When I got back I found that, as would be expected, the bike was water marked and could do with a ‘shammy’. It wasn’t a chore that I was particularly interested in. Then I remembered that the numbers needed tending to. So off I went to find a bit of polish.  

It's less than likely that this young lady has ever cleaned her motorcycle

Then I found my can of Vulcanet and remembered how very good the stuff is.

It’s presented in a plastic can where a roll of wipes are held in place with a large lid within which a polishing cloth lives.

Vulcanet works like a baby wipe. Simply wipe the body work of the bike. It works on all the surfaces, mirrors, plastics, paintwork, wheels. Even the tyres and that beautiful Akrapovic end can.

While I just wanted to get rid of the water marks and deal with the bits that I’d missed with the washer these things didn’t need the water after all. They even lifted that, always irritating, chain lube off the rear wheel rim.  

Alas I’ve finished the job and now I’ve got to go back to the office and justify buying a years’ worth of cigars on a business account…

If your local bike shop doesn't stock this stuff, then you probably need to take your business elsewhere!
