Welcome and we love a good story on here... The only bloke that bores us is PIG.... :biggrin: keeps going on about cruisers and gay boys or something.... Welcome to the fun house and post some pictures of your bike.
Welcome to the site, I wouldn't lacquer alloy as the salt will eventually get underneath and corrode it inside out. Triumph have stopped using lacquer on their modern bikes for a few years now for that reason. The best way I've always recommended is auto sol to bring it to life then a silicone spray to act as a barrier.
Thanks for info about silcon spray mines getin done metal polishers as my clutch cover was the way u said that why I was askin about lacquer if silicon would be better whats the best spray ones and where can I buy it as I want to keep the mirror shine once they are done so is silicon or lacquer goin to be better let me know cheers to all
Welcome to the forum! I agree with the above re lacquer, the problem is if its mirror polished there isn't really any key to the surface for the lacquer to stick to which will eventually lead to it lifting and looking awful! I'm not sure you really need protection on it if it has been polished would it not be better to just keep on top of the polishing?? Anyway that's my 2p worth! Good luck and get some pics up once its done!
you never know! will be over your way May 26 Erskine Hospital bike meet in aid of said hospital.:smile:
