Yamaha R1 freshen up and protection
Not a massive write up as the owner had wanted a few little marks taking out of his paint work and some decent protection putting on.
The paint work and carbon fibre were worked by hand using dodo juice limeprime and a hand polishing pad, this was then buffed and Prima Amigo applied before being buffed.
It then received 2 coats of Swissvax Shield which were left for approx 30min each before being buffed leaving me with this

i never use anything other than soapy water on the tank as it makes braking much harder on the arms if you cant grip the tank

I know the owner has not had any issues and has just returned from a week of touring Scotland.
