I did put an in-line link in the above post but here it is direct. Oh I forgot to mention, they are British firm too. Lets support small independant British businesses Image

£65 is easily done when it comes to detailing products. You wont be disappointed. It's nice that they supply microfibres and pads too. I tell you what, once you use Surfex you will never use Paraffin again. Hydra is lovely, it smells like a fruit juice :lol: so easy to apply and buff up. It's in a liquid form and does not leave white marks on things like plastic or vinyl either. It's almost like a quick detailer. Just don't go waxing your seat or you will be sliding around all over the place.

This thread is encouraging me to get my fairings resprayed. I want a shiny bike again. If I had a garage I would have resprayed them by now.
