    Bike Wax

    For those of us with the fastest colour-black, Turtle Wax has come out with a black tinted cleaner, wax and polish kit that I just used for the first time yesterday. I had some of my neighbours approach me and say the bike has never looked better. The shine is definitely there and it appears to have hidden some of the swirls and scratches. I would recommend it for the black coated crowd.

    The paint on my fastest black F6B is terrible, I use 80-grit sandpaper, then finish it up with the most abrasive rubbing compound I can find.

    Question What Is With Liquid Glass?

    Several of you have reccomended Liquid Glass for our scoots. I think something bad is up with this company. I tried to buy some online yesterday. It is no longer available at Amazon.It also shows up as not available at many other sites. One guy on e-bay seems to have some for a pretty steep price. You can't make a purchase at the Liquid Glass website. When you click on "order", up pops a pdf price list with phone numbers for toll free, regular and fax. The toll free number has been disconnected. I called the landline yesterday and nobody answered, so I left a message. I called them today, and I was told that they can't take credit cards and won't be able to for at least a couple of more weeks. The only way you can order anything is by paying with a check or money order. I have long since stopped paying people I don't know with money orders or checks.

    Something is not right here folks.

    Seriously.

    NOPE! LG is not available to me in DC/VA/MD thru Advance Auto. When I try to order it on the Advance website and deliver to my home, the order will not go thru. And it comes up as not available an ANY local store. Same for carquest... There is a can of it in a Cortland NY store.... probably an error because its not in any other store in that area. Seems suspicious all around to me. There is nothing that states that it is not available in all states. Seems like this product is having distribution issues.

    But today it comes back as available on Amazon.

    NOT "distribution issues" but EPA, CARB and a few other ridiculous, environmental, tree hugging, left wing issues!!!
    Like I posted, I get it from AZ and UT regularly, but can't buy in CA. there were a few places on Ebay that was selling too, but I haven't looked in a while so can't say for sure now.

    I guess this must be Ms. Rat..................I might buy the company if she's part of the deal.

    I can't find this stuff anywhere, including Amazon, Advanced Auto Parts, ebay, etc. I also called the Liquid Glass company today and their 800 number is disconnected and no one answers their local line.

    A week ago it appeared on Amazon -- seems to be from the company in NJ that makes it... So I got two 16 oz cans.
    The 800 number is dead, The website now has their phone number at a NY number
    201-387-6755
