| Reading all the ACF-50 threads, i would love to get it done professionally but i dont have 50 quid to spare at the moment, and i live in a 3rd floor flat, the bike is parked off the road basically in a building site, not the ideal place to do basic maintenence or clean.
I dont mind jetwashes, but years ago they were all over, now i rarely see them (working), and even then i dont want to be rushed by 2 minute timers etc
Anyone else in the same situation?
Where do you go to clean/work on your bike?

| You don't need water.
Just use a rag and some 'stuff' i.e wd40, fs365 and some furniture polish for the plastics etc.
I've not 'washed' a bike "properly" in years.

| Take it to Bandit Bikes. Somewhere out east, Bethnal Green I think. Not used 'em myself but have seen them recommended on these forums a few times.

| Thanks for the advice, i will probably end up getting one of those pressure cleaners, do you just put your cleaning product with the water?
Count, I know the place you are talking about i think, is it on Nelson St, goes as prestige car wash now, they do a good job on a bike for £5.
The thing is i have let a number of my ex bikes down by being lazy and not cleaning and maintaining them... i now have a shiney tool set and the will not to go down the lazy road again..
I want to go over my own bike slowly so i can spot any early problems too...
Cheers all |
