Bowden's Own

Until a couple of years ago I'd used Meguires products from day 1 to clean and look after my Bandit, great products and I had no complaints.

Then I found out Bowden's Own products are All Australian made, developed and owned, 100% including the packaging, the packaging lids, the labels etc etc etc



As my Meguires stock ran out I started replacing it with Bowdens, 

1st was Nanolicious Wash



and 



I found both to be at least as good as what I was replacing

Then I added Wet Dreams which leaves an impressive shine and the water just beads and runs off



and 

The Big Green Sucker



The best drying cloth I've ever used

Next as my Meguires had run out I grabbed a bottle of Paint Cleanse and Restore and stripped back all previous coatings left on the bike



Soon after that I copped a day of bugs, the front was yellow and red splattered everywhere

I called in and bought  both the Bugger Off and the De-Bugger cloth, made cleaning off the insects a breeze

A mate with a couple of classic cars kept telling me to get a Snow Cannon, @ about $100 I was sceptical until I used his, for the 1st time I had a clean spot free engine without using a brush. I saw them go on special mid 2020 for just under $70 so grabbed one and 5 litres of Snow Job

If your car is really grubby you may need to use the Nanolicious after but most normal washes, spray this on, rinse off and polish, bloody easy!!





About the same time my old metal polish ran out, so I added another 100% Aussie product to my cupboard



Another easy to use product that does exactly what they claim it to do

My Wet Dreams was starting to get low and a mate had been telling me about another product that uses the Snow Blow Cannon, Happy Ending, a spray on, rinse off and dry polish

It was on special a few weeks back so I bought a bottle, it is recommended that you don't use the same plastic bottle on the cannon to apply this as you do with the Snow Foam, they recommend you get a 2nd bottle @ $19.99, all well and good but none of the stockists I tried in Adelaide reckon they could get it. I ended up getting a 2nd gun from Bunnings, a Karcher gun manufactured specifically for car products with 900ml bottle for $27

Today I tried it on the Bandit and my Kia Rio, WOW, just WOW!! What a shine and no effort

Been using Snow Job for a couple of years now. Using a $20 Snow gun from ebay

You can also get them with the Gernie attachment

LOL love some of the names they have used ........

So this is what you spend your money on when you DONT live on a dirt road . Gee, its an expensive pastime , and complicated ..What ever happened to a hose and a towel nicked from the bathroom .

I've found bowdens orange agent an excellent product for cleaning engine, frame wheels etc. Use a 1" paintbrush to work the surface and hose it off.
If you were lucky to get your hands on the yellow snow limited edition foaming agent for pre wash, it's bloody good too. As is the beauty beads paste wax. Again a limited edition. I've never seen water bead away from a treated surface quite like this before in over 25 years of being a car or bike enthusiast.
