Holy looong rant! I didn't get to read it all, you must have too much time on your hands. Just clean your bike already!

GTAM - quickest bunch of people to judge I've ever seen. It takes 5 minutes to get a smile from riding. It takes at least an hour to properly clean a bike.
What are ya'll gonna do with this little nugget: I NEVER CLEAN MY BIKE. I've had it since may last year, put 12k on it, cartwheeled it into a tree, had it washed twice by chicks in skirts (for charity, lol), and generally treat it like a peice of ****. Why do you care?
As I tell my boss - every minute you spend cleaning, I spend riding. Now whos the poser?

LOL.......I used to work for the City for 3 and a half years.....did everything from Pool Operator/Custodian at a Rec. Centre, cleaning beaches (Woodbine and Cherry), then did garbage/recycling and finally Ashbridges Bay treatment plant as an Operator-in-training.....smelly.
I left the good money for better money....currently a Steamfitter apprentice....I was tired of justifying doing extra work to my deadbeat lazy city coworkers. You'll find a lot of people you'd think are homeless that swear that making $22/hr to litter pick our streets is justifiable. I support my union and all for that matter but you should get what you give, be it skill or effort. F'n clowns!!
While on the subject of tracks n' trains......I just finished installing (with the help of coworkers) the snow melt tubing on the new tracks for GO at Union Station, it is to open on Monday May 11

temptin', but i'm gonna go after one of them 1,300 new City of Toronto jobs that'll pay twice as much for half the effort and a quarter of the results.

Your post makes no sense.
Please, go back to square one and try again.
Obviously his family is more important to him than his vehicles...
Those who find their vehicles more important than their own flesh and blood are the posers.
I know of a place, but its not in the east end but central. All they do is bikes, the only 4 wheels they do are ATV's. The place is Crazy Chrome Motorcycle Detailing & Storage. These guys are crazy for real. They clean everything, it will look brand new. Try it out and I promise you that you'll be happy.

...Its the same **** as any old wash and wax in a bottle, and it will leave wash-marks if you don't take it off with a chamois and touch up with a microfibre.
Check out mike from michael angelo's auto salon, guy's work ends up cleaner than an O.R. He's been doing it for years, and has done some great work on bikes.
Also worth noting, an air compressor is your best friend for hitting the nooks and crannies for dust and water on your car or bike.
While we're on the subject, are the seats and other plastics usually pretty well UV protected already or should/could I apply some 303 Aerospace Protectant on them as well?
Btw, if you're looking for a good spotless rinse, Optimum No Rinse is a great product. I use it on my car all the time. An ounce or two diluted in a 32oz spray bottle of water. Just spray it on, wipe off and any left behind dries completely without residue.

I some how ended up here looking for a good way to polish the metal on my bike and saw this post you are replying too. Makes me never want to come back to the site. This poor guy is looking for someone to clean his bike and 90% of the comments are tough guy insults. real nice.
