   LOL!

   Are you a rep for WD40?
   If not, you should be

   Clean fresh water that is allowed to dry off quickly will of course be fine. I usually role and tip the bike carefully to make sure as much of the water has drained off. The bike should be protected from the effects of rain after all.

   Nice guide.

   I just wish it had subtitles though.
   Your non-american accent makes it difficult to understand everything since we are not all native-speaking english.

   Speaking English with an English accent, how bloody dare I…

   lol!

   You should & it’s nice and proper!
   Didn’t mean to offend.
   Unfortunately most of non-english people (like me) are learning English with a “hollywood” accent.

   Subs would be great, many interesting stuff it the guide, I was not being ironic.
   I just don’t get everything you say.
   I’m Greek btw.

   Cheers

    Nothing wrong with a good old fashioned Hollywood accent of course, and I’ll bet your English is better than my Greek

    As for subs, we just don’t have the time I’m afraid.

    BTW we’ve just taken delievry of our first lot of Autoglym products so we’ll be selling them on our website very soon.

    Cheers matey

    I find it amusing how people can complain about your English accent when speaking English. Are you supposed to speak English with an American accent? No.

    Great vid Nick, Awesome accent

    By the way we’re doing a car one in a few weeks. Just bought the worlds filthiest Porsche 924 for filming.

    Kind regards

    Impressive dedication!! And quite a bit of good know how but why the heck doing it all, or worse, pressure washing it of IN FRONT OF A WHITE HOUSE?? *LOL*
    Me myself is a practical guy washing the bike just take off mechanical protective oil based film I rather have a well working bike than a shiny bike with grinding bearings or later on even worse oxidising parts. Be careful cleaning! Leaving it out for a short rain is my way ;o)

    Thanks for the guide!
    I’m new to riding, got my licence about 2 months ago. Stripped the bike down and cleaned it just like you did. I have to say, cleaning the bike is addictive!

    I use wd40 to clean smaller mechanical areas then re oil or grease -wax after. I use a good washing up liquid as the first part of washing the bike ,then a well known wax shampoo! If you get one of these wax shampoos most are anti smear leaving the hard work of chammi’s cloths that cary grime out.
    Some god tips here though!!! nice BLADE!!!
