    Hi, i was cleaning the blade yesterday and in my box of cleaning bits and bobs i had an old tin of TYRE SHINE, so methinks lets try it on the black frame, well it came up bloody gorgeous with a quick spray and a soft cloth wipe, so next thoughts "how about my boots" the same thing, they look like flippin new, and also sprayed some on the tight zips, again, zips are now free and easy, so the list goes on ?? might try it on the old leathers next, well i think we are all intelligent on this site, but i will end by saying. DO NOT GET THIS STUFF ANYWHERE NEAR YER TYRES, UNLESS YOU WANT TO THROW YOUR BIKE OVER THE NEAREST F*KIN HEDGE.

    Also in the news today, bears do shit in the woods :)

    Valuable lesson for a few there rollsroyce. If you are going to spray anything near your important hoops , atleast cover them with something.
    For plastics/frames near your tyres and you want to get some sort of oil on it? Spray into a cloth first. Even silicones sprayed into the air will somehow find its self stuck to parts you did not intend.

    I've been known to flip that particular routine and use cherry blossom on the tyres of the car. A much more natural shine than tyre polish.

    I ALSO MUST STRESS THAT THE CAR TYRES ARE NOT SUBJECT TO LEAN ANGLES SO DO NOT TRY THIS ON YOUR BIKE.
