This blog focuses on the external components, working parts & paint surfaces of your motorcycle.

Detailing, winter paint protection & winter coating protection. 

Detailing is an essential part of motorcycle ownership. With all motorcycles being susceptible to UV damage, salt, fallout & acid from insects, it is always wise to protect against the damage these environmental issues can cause.  Therefore, not only does detailing preserve the paint finish of the motorcycle, but it also helps prevent rust, oxidisation of paint finish & corrosion to unprotected alloys.

In addition, there has been more than one occasion when I’ve found a problem or a loose component while cleaning a customers vehicle. It’s always good to cast an eye over the fluid levels/brake pads & make sure nothing is loose or needs attention. The mono motorcycles detailing package not only helps with servicing issues, protects & prolongs the motorcycles life;  it also helps to retain the resale value of your machine.

Here is what’s involved with detailing your motorcycle at Mono Motorcycles.

Unlike most other motorcycle detailer’s,  here at Mono Motorcycles we pride ourselves on the ultimate protection for your motorcycle.

Not only do we correct all your painted surfaces, we also remove all fairings & wheels, polish corroded exhaust systems, flat and polish plastic headlights. As part of the detailing package, we even re-grease your chain before sealing your pride and joy with a combination of nano sealants, Zymol waxes & ACF50; giving your bike the ultimate protection.

Mono motorcycles unique detailing protection package is unlike any other. Mono motorcycles use a mixture of a hand applied sealants to all the paintwork, metals, wheels, followed by a nano spray to seal all the hard to reach areas. The nano sealant protects your motorcycle from oil, road grime, fallout, mud & salt, making it easier to clean.
