Mobile Motorcycle Detailing

Anyone heard of these? I was just browsning Gumtree for bargains and saw this link

Sounds like a cheap version of All Year Biker to me.

Not that I need it as I've spent most of the day doing it myself

Could be worth a punt to someone, especially with a really scruffy bike! Doesn't sound that cheap, though...'prices from £40...' and that's without the acf-50! :shrug:

>> Mobile Motorcycle Detailing


What the hell is that supposed to mean ?

It's cleaning a bike.

It's a scrubber.

In North Speak it fettling.

And it's unnatural. A clean bike isn't being used.

I'm sure they will be selling them by the box at Christmas!

I can understand detailing on sports bikes or a goldwing that has large areas of bodywork, I'm just not sure about using one for a strom. Fair enough If you see results for the money and you are happy, but a bucket and sponge works for me! And I don't use Fairy liquid either...
