Meh. I'd rather have a bike that has been regularly maintained than washed regularly. My bike has been very well maintained, just not washed frequently. Flat black and wax don't mix anyway.

oh the mechanics of my bike are as well taking care of as the appearance

If i was shopping for a bike and the seller tells me how well it has been maintained, etc, and its covered with 6 months of dirt and grime, im gonna have a hard time believing him

lets just say not as often as I should. I always start out with good intentions of cleaning it on a nice day but with in min. I start thinking of how much more fun I would have taking a ride. so I tell myself Ill take a quick ride and then wash it.... well Im sure I don't need to tell you how that works out most days!

Picked up some Honda polish this weekend. But with the weather looking crappy, doesn't look like I'll have a chance to use it until next week.
