Getting into those hard to reach places...
Gave her a proper spit and polish this afternoon. Had to seek out all those little spots and get her shining!! Even have the rims shining now!!
After all, she deserves the TLC

WOW! Mine will come out of hibernation at some point, and will need a similar treatment. That HAD to take few hours... Very nice job.
On my scoot, getting there is WAY more than half the fun!
