Rode it to work and back...then decided I needed to start looking at addressing the paintwork scratches. So, This is the bike before it was washed after 300 odd miles :MANKY!So I washed the bike with some strong TFR, and then went round the bike with IPA to remove any filling polish the dealer may have used to cover some uglies...looks like my bike has had some throwover panniers on at some point as the rear plastic was badly scuffed up :Same on the other side:Looks like it may need paint to fully resolve the issue, or at the very least I may need to strip it off to get into it properly with the rotary polisher. For this season ill just hand polish it with a mild correction, filling polish and glaze it to take the bad look away, unless I get a lot of time to strip it and correct it properly. heres the result of two passes with some Autoglym SRP, followed by some meguiars #7 glaze (but before I applied CarPro HydrO2 for beading ability):not perfect, but at least 60-70% improvement. I then went round the rest of the bike with this, to leave me with this:pretty happy with that for now....it will do anyway
I suppose beauty is in the eye of the holder and all that!!!!!!That's cleaned up quite good.....out of interest how did you get rid of the scratches on the plastics

It won't have removed them all, but it does contain fillers to hide scratches as well for a while, until I can get time to use a proper correcting polish on it. The "glaze" I've used also helps mask scratches too, but doesn't actually fix anything.
First proper ride since September last year (health issues, not cos I'm a fair weather boy! ) 1 hour and 45 non stop round some of my favourite roads trying out my new GoPro.It's good to be back!
Went out for a little blast From Exmouth to Exeter to get some chain lube, Via Barnstaple
