Royal Enfield Interceptor 650/Continental GT. WAXING/DETAILING & PROTECTING your Motorcycle. 

Thank you Anoop!

Rich Glenn I hasten to disagree there .... the GT is a lot easier on the eye!

I truly aggee with you mate!

Royal Enfield Racer agree...own gt in ice queen color...beautiful motorcycle

Great 👍

It is indeed a Great video, I have had my orange crush for a year now and have just had my 10,000 k service, but sadly despite following your school of instruction with both procedure and exactly the same products. The dealer has had to take photos and has sent them to Royal Enfield as the bike has a concerning amount of corrosion . I am in a dry, hot climate, with roads that are not salted and yet rear shocks , engine casing bolts, clutch linkage even down to the speedo drive screw along with the EFI metal fittings are corroded . Shame really, as the bike has been an absolute Gem. I hasten to add although garaged, it has never been parked wet nor is there humidity present. My 65 aluminium panelled and steel chassis Land rover, which it´s parked along side, has less corrosion , which is also never garaged wet or muddy. RE are to replace the mirrors under warranty as black patches are appearing around the edging of the mirror lens.

I was looking around on NZ sites last night....wish I’d spotted your comment first. Did you find any good alternatives that are available here in NZ?

Hi Gordon, I mostly use muck-off products, Miracle Shine on paintwork and MO94 to protect bare metals. I also have recently discovered Plexus, a plastic cleaner/polish which does a great job of screens and visors.

Thanks Jonathan. I purchased an interceptor for my wife yesterday and really want to make sure it gets looked after. I’m a bit obsessive when it come to vehicle detailing. Thanks for the recommendations. I shall go and make some purchases tomorrow

You are welcome. Enjoy the new bike. I watched a you tube video recently about who makes the best engineered MC engines, based on contamination in oil from the first oil change. Royal Enfield was the cleanest oil, beating even BMW! I actually have a T120 Bonneville, I love it but it was twice the price of a RE. Jonathan

I watched same video.m and I think it was what made the decision to go for this RE rather than something else in a similar style. I also ride a KTM 1290R, so was glad to see KTM high in the ranks for cleanliness too.

Thank Robert, and yes im just trying the touring seat out!

@@stuartfillingham Please let us know all about it. Have fun.

The pro prep will remove it from your tyre walls Allan.

I spoken about ACF50 many times Nigel and im afraid I dont rate it. Waxoil products are far superior, last longer, and are easier to remove.

Yea wax doesn't work very well on most bare alloys, it leaves them cloudy.

@@stuartfillingham7011 But Stuart, do you only apply the Bilt Hamber wax to the engine casings and nothing else? so that´s ok for stain and (potential) rust, my question is what about later? (what do you use after wax to protect chomes?) Thanks a lot for your videos and help! (even i you don´t answer :)) take care!.

depends which autoglym polish you use Anthony. the super resin is abrasive and will eventually remove the clear coat it also has virtually no protective abilities. I dont have any recent experience of their waxes. not a fan of ACF50. its too expensive and messy for my tastes and gives little more protection than most oil based maintenance sprays.

@@stuartfillingham Hello again Stuart, I really never knew the Autoglym polish had a cutting element, that's not on my list any longer thank you, I had always assumed ACF 50 to be a corrosion protector because it was for the Aero industry?? I must admit, before I used that I used to use silicone spray for my bits to difficult to get to. I used to work in the Restoration business, now do smart repairs mobile, but at the restoration company we used to use a a wax that came in a plain 5 litre can, my boss swore by it, and the cars always looked wonderful, but all I knew was it was karnuba based, in a white 5 litre can. And as the one you showed it never went white, just a haze before buffing off. I'm always waiting for your next video, thank you for letting me know about Autoglym. Your videos are so reminiscent of "out of town" reminds me of a better time, when people had respect, and motorcycles were transport not toys and you could fix your car, without need for diagnostic tools!!!

@@anthonyprice5596 Yes that white powder that gets every where when you buff it off is carbide powder, it should only be used to revive tired paintwork perhaps once a year at most, which is why its popular with the used car trade. just stick to a good carnauba wax!

yes

How does it compare with the original?
