very nice what was the process with using that ?
and how good is it really ?
also can you still use wax\polish on top to get that deep shine?

only had it a day so cant comment on how long it lasts looking fresh.
You have to get it shiney before hand this locks it in its a coating what goes over top.
Piss easy to use the pre clean(ipa)to get rid of all oils etc.then wipe over and leave for a while then wipe off i'll do a beading video tomorrow or friday as its best to let it cure over night :thumbup:

You decided to get the Williams coating then. It will be interesting to see how it holds up. I'm sure it will last you through the winter at least.

Lloydies bike should be perfect with the fresh paint job. Looks like they have done a reasonable job polishing up the lacquer. Lloyd in case you wondering what IPA is, Isopropyl Alcohol so basically ceramic coatings go directly onto the paint as a first layer before any wax. Don't get confused between the differences with a polish and a wax as they are both very different.

Yup, Carl,is straight onto the hard stuff, he has to limit him self to isopropyl alcohol now that trichloroethane is not so readily available.

pulled the cover off the bike, started up it for a few minutes to keep the battery charged, then it looked and smelled like it was about to catch fire..... 8O
smoke coming off the engine, i quickly turned it off and pulled the cover back over it, i'll have to check it out tomorrow, i'm hoping that its just coolant thats been leaking and pooled up on the vee area ontop of the engine and it was burning off, it smelt pretty bad tho..... :(
HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!!
