FW1. Heard of it?

[saltydog]

Sponsors of the uk Gt team, a made in Aussie wax/cleaner/shine that comes in a spray can. Apply directly to fairings and bodywork, dry and buff off.
I humu'd some off a mate to try and it is the business. Honestly made my bike look new and it blows anything I've ever used out of the water. BUT
I cant find a can to buy anywhere in the BOP. The website http://www.fw1.com.au/
doesnt tell me much and I've tryed calling the agent and contacting the website directly....but no bloody reply. The shit is expensive at $40 a can but no good if no-one has heard of it or know where to buy it.
My mate picked one up at some random garage where they were having some promo and he was probably off chops to remember where.
So help me out....where can I buy this stuff??

I saw some dude in the Takapuna mall last week demo-ing that stuff.
Sorry - dunno where you can get it from. However (but!) I googled "fw1 polish" and got lots of hits, including Tardme, Steve's Marine, and some other places. I suggest you do the same and find a link that's somewhere you can access.

Cheers Viff. Interesting you saw a fella demo'ing it. Most shops here in Whakatane have never heard of it. Tardme is a no-goer, And Steves Marine is $50 a can!!! I'll keep searching mate, cheers

Really good stuff. As they say, you don't need water at all. I use it to clean my visor, helmet, bike gear, and the bike too! It does a pretty good job on wheels covered in brake dust and chain oil - but the rag won't be usable afterwards.

As for bugs and general road shit on fairings it does a really good job there too. You can leave it for a few minutes to let it soak if things are really dirty, but it is more for keeping things clean than doing a full detail on a dirty car/bike - like cleaning it after every weekend ride as opposed to cleaning it once every couple of months.

$40AUD for a can that lasts 2-3 times on a car? That's expensive

Yes, but we're not using it on a car are we! You'd have to try it before dissing it.
It is the best product I have used for cleaning, shining, waxing...all in one. And I dont even work for these guys.

Let me know if you'd like some. And in reply to the person who said, pretty expensive for 2-3 washes: Actually one wash last up to 6 weeks, dirt-free, fingerprint-free and brake-dirt free. And you can get 6-7 washes out of a can for a bike. So that a whole year' s supply in one can. And its waterless and quick.

It's pretty rough on rubber and never ever leave it on in bright sunlight.

I only use it for my wheels / fork tubes / headlight for general degreasing. I don't trust it on paint.

Excellent stuff,I have been using this for years on my car,and lately on my bike too!
