Cheers Tim



Paint was already done, I've just detailed it up a bit to give it some depth.

Interesting you and David like the paint as I was in two minds as to getting it re-painted in the lighter Candy Green which was the other D model colour and is much rarer.

Got given a tub of this £50 Carnauba wax to try last week so thought I'd post up the results...

As it's only a Wax it doesn't make the paintwork shine, only give depth to what's there - which I think it does. But I doubt I'll be investing in a tub of my own at £50 a pop. :shock:

Harly wax is what the custom car boys use. I only ever used it for my maserati (now ex maserati) to give a unbelievable "wet" look shine and its half the price but still 100% canuba. Now use it on all my bikes.
