    Think theres a guy out by greenhills that will clean your bike and acf it, think it takes about 4 hrs.
    Anybody use him or a professional cleaner?
    Not sure what your supposed to do while it gets cleaned, drive over and walk around for a bit?

    Not sure why anyone would want someone else cleaning the bike, asking for trouble with scratches, drops ... and if you are hanging around for that time why not do it yourself and inspect every millimetre while you do it?

    Ye, he's been recommended on here before. As he's focused on bikes I'd say your safe enough with scratches etc.

    He might have equipment you might not have yourself too. I think people like him use an air compressor to spray on the ACF-50 so it really does get into the nooks and crannies.

    This said, never used one of these services myself. Don't know if there are any in Cork.

    Brian does a fantastic job. Check out https://www.facebook.com/motorcyclevaletingDublin
    Some people leave the bike with him and come back for it. Depends on when youre coming from.

    He has some beautiful bikes on his page, in fairness if I was closer I would definitely drop mine into him.

    Even just for an initial clean to get it spotless after purchasing a new bike

    Have you seen the job he's just done on the garage and workspace? Fully covered wash bay off to the right hand side and he's turned the garage into a full detailing bay. It looks the absolute biz.

    He's looked after my last 4 bikes. Every time I change bikes one of the first things I do is book it in with him for a full treatment. Means when I go to clean it I'm doing less work as everything is already sealed/protected.

    I have indeed :) Fantastic job he did on it.

    I'm the same, my last bike went from City Spares for him to clean before it came home. I had 3 in with him before Christmas in total.
