Vulcanet cleans up

Our Procrastinator-in-Chief has found a wholesome way to avoid doing those tedious jobs that life sometimes demands of us.

Now, bear with us because Paul Browne insists that if you’re armed with the right stuff, cleaning your bike is just the thing for fending off really tiresome tasks.

 

I was dismayed to find an email from my accountant requesting my books for ’24.

Apparently their completion and delivery was quite urgent.

So, naturally, I promptly went out for a spin on my bike instead.

As I was on my way back to the office I was quite aware that the accounts still needed my attention.

Therefore I stopped off to wash the beast as it was getting a little dusty.

Then I rode home and blew the water off the bike on the way, punctiliously observing the sacred speed limit.

No mark

When I got back I found that, as would be expected, the old MT-10 was water marked and could do with a ‘shammy’.

To be honest, it wasn’t a chore that I was particularly interested in undertaking.

Then I remembered that the numbers needed tending to. So off I went to find a bit of polish.

Dodging the bag of crumpled receipts stuffed in my desk drawer, I pottered off to find my can of Vulcanet.

That’s when I remembered how very good the stuff is.

Wipe right

It’s presented in a plastic can with a roll of wipes are held in place with a large lid. The lid, in turn, is where a polishing cloth lives.

Vulcanet works like a baby wipe.

Simply wipe the bike’s body work. It ‘s good on all the surfaces – mirrors, plastics, paintwork, wheels. Even the tyres and that beautiful Akrapovic end can.

While I just wanted to get rid of the water marks and deal with the bits that I’d missed with the washer, these things didn’t need the water after all.

They even lifted that, always irritating, chain lube off the rear wheel rim.

Alas I’ve finished the job and now I’ve got to go back to the office and justify buying a years’ worth of cigars on a business account…

Vulcanet is available in any decent bike shop and even in car parts stores, or so I’m told anyway… Find your local stockist by clicking here.
