looks amazing, would Pete travel to Leicestershire to do my bike?
@@1FromTheTree im from south leicestershire and interested also!
Worth it! Curious, does he ceramic coat the muffler?
@1FromTheTree ask him bud, drop him a line 👍
@@1FromTheTree Yep! He’s coming to Warwick to do my new bike when it gets delivered in January.
Pete Ceramic coated my bike, I have to say his attention to detail is second to none & the coating is brilliant. The process took over 8 hours even though it was a near new bike. Well worth the money to look after what you pay thousands to buy.

@@teapotone Thats an insane value for the level of detail! Hello from Canada!
Pete’s attention to detail is unmatched, made an awesome job on my 1250. ❤
Nice one, great to hear you’re satisfied with it Gaz 👍
This is great. I’ll never do it. But I loved it being done to your bike. Can’t wait for part 2.
I've just spent 2 days doing exactly the same thing to my yamaha tracer which I bought 2 weeks ago, same process but I removed fuel tank and all the panels. It was filthy being a 2017. Loved every minute of it. Well done lad. Cracking video also😊
Pete is a God! How thorough is he 😮🙌🏼 If this is the level of service on Bikes he does then he is gifting the job to anyone who pays for this treatment, outstanding 👏🏼👏🏼😎
Had always used ACF50 but last year when I got a new bike decided to try a ceramic coating. I did think it would be easier to clean but still takes effort especially the bottom end, GS on a damp road looks like it’s been through a field. Once clean it’s very shiny rode through last winter and no issues and once washed back to sparkling best. I gave my bike to a local detailer who normally does high end cars but does bikes as well, very pleased with the result. Only downside being selective on the cleaning products so you don’t damage the coating.
Pete did an amazing job on mine. Think it took about 14 hours. As soon as I pulled up in the morning my first words was “I’m sorry” 😂 I still feel guilty now . Well worth it having this done
🤣👍
Really looking forward to seeing your video comparison between the new vs old GS. With so many thousands of miles on the old one, your in the best place to make an opinion on your experiences of both
Amazing to watch. I spotted the Brew Dog Punk IPA too!! Quality!
Pete is the best. I had 2 bikes ceramic coated by Pete. His attention to detail is World class! I would also highly recommend Supershield Automotive. Great video Bruce.
Thanks Curno, great to hear you’re happy with Pete’s work 👍
Great vid Bruce just got my 2 year old bike ceramic coat now only have to hose it down 👍keep up the great vids Bruce
That is some serious level of attention
New GS looks the business
Fascinating video! Have just ordered a 1300 Trophy and will definitely be getting this done rather than letting the dealership get their YT to do it!
Cool.... picked up a few great cleaning tips.
Few tips given 👍🏻
I thought I was bad that definitely tops me 👏🏻
🤣👍
I used to think I was ott cleaning the bike 😂 A man after my own heart. I will definitely consider getting this done on mine.
Very suprised at the depth of detail to "clean" a bike. As a senior citizen about to return to biking after over 40 years I have bookmarked this compay for future use. My bikes back then were lucky if they got a bucket of soapy water on a Sunday. It was a different era. Wearing of helmets were not yet law when I got my first bike. The law didn't come in until '73. I'm honestly looking forwards to using this companies services. I also enjoyed watching this video and no doubt the same applies to the second in the series.. Thanks.....
Na na na nice! Looks like you lubed her up perfectly, and now she's ready for you. 👍
Thank you for the video. I've always used ACF50 for all my bikes and very happy.
great job Bruce
Thanks bud, all Pete though 👍
I love the new gs it looks amazing.
Cheers bud, me too, it is a FANTASTIC machine!
Interesting comments, one thing i have learn't though is that i rarely have that much time in my day to get stuff like that done, i worked out that it would actually cost me double due to my loss of wages for the day ! Though i have NOT used these guys, i have my own solution which i kind of stumbled accross by accident, i got my petrol tank resprayed from new on my gsa, thats when i realised that i could actually just get all the painted panels and tank resprayed for around £500, with better thicker lacquer too ! So i don't have to worry about scratches too much, just wash and polish, and IF it needs any painting done come sell or trade in time so be it, but if not, thats a wedge saved ! But i do go around every nut & bolt with acf 50 and paint brush, every year to keep corrosion off of the fastners, i'm not knocking the ceramic coatings, each to their own, in fact i do use auto glyms spray ceramic coating just because it helps to keep the bike a bit cleaner.
Well worth doing. I had my 1290 SDR detailed and ceramic coated. Now the dirt just falls off with a quick hose down.
I filmed my detailer for CZcams doing it too 😁
Enjoyed that Bruce! One day I will get the 690 done! 👍
Cheers Chops, Blimey Pete would LOVE your garage!
He’d never leave mate! 🤣👍
Pete working his magic again! The 790 is still a wonder to clean a year later
Hello bud!
Great to hear from you👍
Great to see a bike vid that isn’t EICMA related, nice one Bruce..
Ha Ha, yeah all the regulars seem to have done a group booking for EICMA this year eh! 🤦♂️🤣
It loox like a new bike🤗
Hi Teapot….long time no speak! Hope all good? Couldn’t help but notice that the 1300 still seems to get dirt everywhere from wet rides! I would strongly recommend getting the fender extender for the front mudguard just to reduce the amount of muck and tar thrown up onto the front of the engine, and of course, the mud sling for the rear wheel, to do the same job in protecting the shock and reducing the amount of muck thrown to the sides! Got to be worth doing!
Yes 100%, we even talk about it in the vid I think (maybe it’s in part 2).
Sadly they don’t do any accessories yet for the 1300, I’ve had them both on my last 2 GS’s, absolute necessity 👍
Quality 🏍 👍👌
Got Pete booked to do my new CVO Harley next week if it actually arrives 🤣 great video 👍
Awesome, I sure it’ll look fantastic by the time he’s finished with it.
Glad you liked the vid 👍
You made a boring bike wash sound like a fascinating documentary 💪👏
I have to admit I thought that this was going to be a boring video! So apologies for that! Anything but! What an amazing job! Oh by the way you most definitely NEED A Mad Leprechaun sticker on your sticker wall! Keep up the good work! 👍🏍️💨
Ha Ha, it was originally nearly 3.5 hours of solid footage and I got it down to about 48 minutes, thinking I CAN’T do 2 vids on THIS?!
But there’s so much useful info there from Pete, glad to hear you’ve enjoyed it Murt 👍
Excellent video, enjoyed that. Very detailed and just the type of person you want to work on ones bike! Attention to detail, great pride in what he’s doing!
Wishing he was operating in Scotland with these high standards of workmanship.
Well done pete cracking video butty, Bruce i loved the faces and the bikini quote 😂😂😂
what detail fab job
Good stuff, I’ve just given my gs a four hour clean and acf50 it with compressor and spray gun, it’ll next have a full wash in March but when the salt is down I do rinse the bottom half of the bike with cold water to get salt off then top up vulnerable areas with acf50 on a rag, by March it’ll look like something from mad max but underneath it’s like new👌🏻
Nice, but just remember ACF is basically a very fine polish, so every time you wipe it on to your bike, it’s like using a very fine sandpaper - we chat about this in part 2, coming on Sunday 👍
@@teapotone good advice, I just wipe it over the wheels and spokes, bottom of fork legs👍
Wow !! A lot of work, but well worth it 👍
Pete pays an incredible attention to detail bud - but you’ll see in part 2 (coming by Sunday hopefully) WHY he does this 👍
Brilliant video (David Noonan)
I use a place in Coventry called Earlsdon valeting Centre on my gen 3 Hayabusa. Both bikers that run it, and they do a great job.
Very thought provoking. I think I will stick with ACF 50 and XCP. btw Mr. Sheen is brilliant on all the plastics. 👍
I have to agree I use Mr Sheen and it literally cleans road tar and chain lube so easy, brilliant stuff for a £1
@stephenchapman8344 @superten1780 - you’ll see in part 2 (coming on Sunday… hopefully) WHY using ACF/pledge isn’t such a great idea 👍
You’re essentially rubbing your bike down with a very fine sandpaper
Fantastic video and Professional attention to detail, this is the difference between money well spent or money wasted, very nice to see someone taking pride in their work.
Bruce, interesting video. I have some experience of ceramic coating, it will be nice to see how the ceramic treatment stood up on your last bike. Looking forward to the video
Which video bud?
@@teapotone the one your going to on the old GS after it ceramic coating had been on for a few years, so we can see how successful and worthwhile it was having it done
@davidsandilands1285 I’m not doing a specific one, it’s gone? You can see in the b-roll I included that it was still beading water, and I’ve done insta stories on it when I washed the bike previously.
Perhaps the chap who bought my bike from Chandlers/Group 1 in Brighton will see this and can supply current pics/vids?
@davidsandilands1285 what’s your Instagram handle and I’ll post a pic to highlight?
I like this video. Does Pete have a clone in Canada? If so whereabouts I'm in Alberta. Great video!
Notes taken from this video... Don't let Bruce wash my bike!
Interesting to hear about the ACF50 impact - I use the XCP Rust blocker for metals along with a ceramic coating for plastics, which means the prewash works wonders and very rarely need a proper contact wash. Especially in these crap conditions we have coming up!
Got to say... that 1300GS looks a much better finish than the 1250 - Not to say the 1250 was bad, but hopefully that will stop those issues with the engine paint flaking etc
Aye the whole bike seems to be a massive step forward in terms of build quality and materials - time will tell though bud 👍
Ta for info regarding price
That's amazing.I cleaned my new bike with two buckets of water- I mean it thought I cleaned my bike.
only a hour and a half away from me i might have to give them a go for my viffer
Yep never use a rag with nylon or polyester as a material same goes with micro fibre cloth. 100% cotton and rub lightly
@teapotone, what mini polisher is he using in this vid? Brand and model? Looks very handy
That is amazing! How much would it cost to get a ceramic coat done on my 3 year old 1250GSA. he definately is the right man!
Drop Pete a line at SupershieldAuto.co.uk
Had mine done but not by Pete or the same company so nothing to do with him, was the biggest waste of money I've ever spent mate had his done at same time and reported the same pity as I had seen Pete in action and thought all were the same, cracking job that Bruce he's one of the best 👍.
Yep sadly they are definitely NOT all the same bud, and they don’t all use the same ceramics either.
I don’t know of any other UK company who use the same market leading ceramic and do the same high quality job as Pete. I wouldn’t put my name to him otherwise 👍
Looking good and 10 years warranty that's insane 🤗 still no bikkinis 😂😂 NATIONALS)))))
I have just watched 5 minutes of this video, i can't believe you need someone to wash your bike. It's not very difficult. I ride all through the winter, I clean my 10year old Tiger 1050 dry it with a blower and use ACF50, It still looks like new. When you clean your bike it gives you the opportunity to give it a good close look at it so you can make any minor repairs to save any things going wrong.
Awesome, watch 5 minutes of content and then comment on it without full knowledge of everything said and covered within the 2 videos.
That’s a great way to approach life, sadly very typical today 🤦♂️
When will you be testing the new bike in Morroco?
Not sure at the mo, I’m already pretty much fully booked for 2024 with my own tours. However if I can get over there then I will 👍
Amazing stuff, the guy really knows his stuff, but can you give us some idea of the price Bruce 👍
Look at the very first comment bud, I’ve pinned it as so many people were asking the same thing 👍
Saya pingin boss😂
Is that only for the 5 speed model?
Personally I would've clay bared the bike before paint correction but that's just me 😊
👍👍👌👌 did he give ya any tips on cleaning n tidying garage lol 😂😂
Aye, divorce the wife!
😂😂😂😂 mines banned lol
@@teapotoneye i get my garage mint then the mrs dumps a load of s hit in there. Might start dumping s hit in her room
Will Pete come out to Bristol BS16 area
Drop him a line and ask bud, his website is supershieldauto.co.uk
OH My GOODNESS ! this has brought out my OCD in me meeeeeorrr lol .
That’s an amazing job!
Mine has already adopted its winter chic 😂 (covered in sh1te) 💩 they love to cover themselves in it the dirty big Bavarian berthas
A Fool And His Money Are Soon Parted 😂
Does Pete cover the north west of England ? Getting my 1250gsa in 3 weeks
Just drop him a line - link to website is in vid description as it say in the vid, and I’ve also linked it with prices in the very first comment 👍
@@teapotone just seen that sorry, I’ve sent him a message thanks
@teapotone what is that smartphone holder you have in the craddle?
I got it on eBay bud, great bit of kit

@@teapotone does it wireless charge out of the box or did you need to wire something?
It clicks into the Nav cradle and takes power from there, wirelessly charges your phone e
A bit of weed killer on the drive way Bruce 😂
That’s very kind, when’re you coming round? 😉👍👏
@@teapotone it’s two flights and eff the m25, never doing that motorway again :-)
How much does Pete charge?
Had my first gs done and after 28k miles it was still easy to clean and looked mint, Didn’t get my second done and after 5k miles it’s starting to look a bit rank. Will say one thing about bmw is the anodising on the wheels is the shittest I’ve seen it really does need some mild cleaner on them. Easily ruined .
Will you be doing the ACT on your new toy?
Once I’ve got some engine bars on him and some decent tyres, then yep I’ll aim to do the ACT at some point next year 👍
@@teapotone engine bars definitely a great idea.
Just think Bruce the amount of Brewdog you both could have drunk in this cleaning period….I’m always available for a tasting session if you need help with getting through that lot in the garage ✨✨🍻🍻🍻
Ha Ha, that’s VERY kind of you bud, I’ll keep you in mind 👍
I need to get the ‘Bru Time’ podcast back up and running and get to work on those beers!
By the way pal the GS looks lovely ‘triple black’… very nice 👌 🤘
wow lol i just snow foam and XCP mine hahaha
Ha Ha, aye the level of detail is incredible isn’t it!
But I’m telling you, the camera just can’t do it justice, the bike looked absolutely stunning by the time he finished
@@teapotone where are they based? Could be worth a look
@Sharpey76. Pete is based near Bromley in Kent, but he can usually sort you out just about anywhere.
Drop him a line - website link is in the description 👍
@@teapotone nice.. I'm down in Folkestone I will drop him a email
I note the comment about ACF50 (I use XCP Clearcoat) but if you use the bike all year through salted roads these products definitely help.
Is this coating as effective against salt as ACF50 and XCP Clearcoat?
Apparently yes, but drop Pete a line via his website or socials and I’m sure he’ll gladly explain in detail 😉👍
Moto SPA.
I liked watching the video, but there are no details on the guarantee anywhere?
Drop Pete a line, web address is in vid description or pinned in first comment
@@teapotone Just sent an email. Cermaic coating is well worth it, but you'll only get 5 years max out of it.
Why leave the top box on, when your bike is having a mega clean?
Drive needs weeding 🤪
Ha Ha, that’s all I kept thinking when I was editing the flaming vid! 🤦♂️🤣
Feel free to pop round mate, I’ll get the kettle on 😉👍👏
@@teapotone 😂😂
Gets bike finished after 12 hours..."Right! Let's Off Road!" 😭😭😭😇😄😄
This is a dirt bike?
Why on earth would you leave the top box on, when this clean / treatment was to be done? 🤔
Have you actually watched the vid?
nice advertisement for the ceramic coating master but i prefer to clean my motorcycle myself,i ride my motorcycle winter and summer and if iclean my motorcycle myself i can notice any defects myself
Credit where credit is due surely? He was doing my bike, I believe he does a fantastic job and deserves exposure for it, and I believe others will benefit from the service he provides - nothing wrong with that surely 👍
Yep I totally agree with you there, washing your bike is a great way to identify any issues that may have arisen 👍👏
Looks like he does great work,but too far to go for me 🤓😎🏍💨💨💨💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦🍻
What happened to your head Bruce? Mrs Teapot doing some behavioural training? 😂
Ha Ha, no my dog decided she wanted to play🤦♂️🤣
@@teapotone which one of you is the XL bully?
What's he charging for 12 hrs work????.
£400
What happened tae yer heid
My dog decided she wanted a wee boxing match.
I lost.
Could the top box have been removed to get underneath ?
It was
@@teapotone Ok sounds good , that was an amazing cleaning , looking forward to part 2 , oh and I love that bike.
Anybody have a ball park cost for this work 🤔
Look at the first comment 👍
@teapotone looked at 1st comment but can't see any cost???
The appearance of the bike grows on you. BUT THAT TOP BOX IS ABSOLUTELY HIDEOUS MAN
Bruce dealer wanted to charge me £50 for a test drive only for an hour he said it was for insurance I told him I have fully comp and there was silence no test drive for me so 👎👎👎👎👎👎
Yeah most BMW dealerships are now charging for test rides sadly - always saying it’s for insurance purposes. I’ve even had to pay it to take a bike out for a review
This guy takes more than two bottles into the shower
🤣👏👍
Had mind done, complete waste of money
Was it PETE who did it? If not who, and what product bud?
had my first gs done not my second and totally regret not getting it done. It’s a waste if you get it of the guy from facebook .
@@Crsf84what guy on fb??
@@TrulyUniqueOnethe guy with the grand advert who works from an escort van (ex postie van) and buys the stuff from home bargains
@@Crsf84 is it sb detailing or something like thatv
All a bit O.T.T. and unnecessary 😂
Not sure what BMW was thinking with this bike….the paint is textured with almost a sand texture. Making it extremely hard to clean. Also the side stand suck and the headlight is as ugly as any headlight in the history of ever. BMW needs to fire the design team on this bike.
It use to be called cleaning your bike, it’s now drawn out process with fancy names like pre wash and paint correction 🙈 sorry but what a load of bollox 😂
Total waste of Money if you live in England where the Rain never stops. One ride and the bike looks terrible again.
Then you give it a quick rinse when you get home and it looks amazing again
The idea is to prevent and protect so perfect for our shi te weather
@3:35 🤣
Would it kill weeds the prewash😅😅😅
