I've booked a valet for the Street Triple, I promised it to myself for a treat after the misery of house selling/moving and now's the time.
It gets washed and dried, the down pipes get the brown marks removed (they don't bother me but it's in with the price) and then a ceramic polish, even the wheels.
Finally, it's winter ACF treatment.
I'd got it into my head that I'm not as good as I was at keeping it bright and sparkly, just through lack of practice. I had forgotten about some of its nooks and crannies and it all seemed rather hard work, so it seemed a good idea to have someone else do it, just this once.
Then I took it out to a breakfast meet last Sunday. Sunny day, almost dry roads and I parked up to wait for the others. I was amazed to see that it was pretty much back to it's best and every single club member commented on how clean it was. :shock:
Anyway, I've decided to pay up and go ahead with the valeting. I shall be interested to see what I can learn and what the end result is like compared to my efforts.
No. There won't be pictures :D
Roll on the 22nd! Quite looking forward to it really.

I KNEW someone would mention under the seat!!!! :D
No. It costs extra and there's wires under there that don't need provoking. The seat itself gets cleaned though. I'm hoping he can get the last traces of paint off it (it's a long, ongoing story). I'd love to see it looking good again.

Spent 2 hours on mine a few days ago giving it a Bob clean. Now waiting for a dry spell to give it it's last run so i can put it to bed for the winter.
Don't need to touch the scoot as not been using it so still brand new.
