cleaning your bike
#46
same father different sisters.

Would love to go to Tassie in Easter.. Maybe i can convince Lozza that she doesn’t need to go to wedding expo.. Its wrecking all the ride options.

I think the bars on the busa are to narrow, does sponge grips solve the problem, if so, im sold.

If paint flaking is poor workmanship, then everyone i saw with a respray at Jindy needs to go back to the painter and complain.. if there was one without a problem then I must of missed it.

I used to use mr sheen myself.. I converted to plexus.. My feelings are that plexus seems to avoid the mr sheen smear problem.. I spent $20 on the can so I need to protect my interests in my investment. It's nothing to do with a smear campaign against the Sheen

By the way, who has an alarm on their bike ? We talked about them last night.. I dont think they stop anyone from stealing your bike, so why have one ? Same with a disc lock.. I buy one with every new bike and put it under my bed with the others.. partly cause im lazy and partly cause i think they are useless.

Have you tried the lemon scented Mr Sheen.. If Mr Sheen has something over plexus, its the range of fragrances.. Most guys probably couldn’t care less, but I have found that the chicks crowd two bikes when we are out.. Raz's cause its pink and chicks like pink and mine cause it smells lemony one week, like a forest the week after .. and so on.

I have considered using mr sheen on my tyres.. I figure one of the differences between slicks and road tyres are the grooves for water displacement. This of course makes slicks a less attractive option in the wet.. However, after a few coats of Mr Sheen or similar product, you build up a silicon layer, which repels the water making slicks a good all year round tyre for track and road.

The only way to resolve this debate is to jump on our bikes and head for a 5km ride to get our lattes, then spend a few hours talking about it.. Ride the 5km home with the latest information on cleaning products and tell everyone how although we only ride 10kms because we mostly clean and talk about cleaning our bikes we are still actually bike riders.

I find cleaning the bike a waste of time. Even though there is a drought, evertime i ride it rains. It therefore doesnt stay clean for long whether i have used plexus or mr sheen. I found the maguires quick detail was better for that and besides it has some funky cherry smell to it..

So can anyone answer my question on sponge grips ?

HOw long can you make a post before it doesnt allow the post to go through.. My guess would be around the 4mg mark because thats when the response and request objects will start getting upset. It will take me a long time to write 4mg worth of text but im probably got a good start now.

Here are some interesting facts

Mr Sheen was launched in 1953 and was considered a major innovation

the market ‘s main formats are aerosol, liquid and trigger, with aerosol’s still dominating the market with a 62% share

Mr Sheen, as a brand, is an all Australian legend, even though it has been owned by British company Reckitt & Colman since 1969

Mr Sheen is now sold in the United Kingdom, Jamaica, and Kenya, where the brand is promoted by a cartoon character depicted as a World War 1 aviator. In New Zealand the Australian Mr Sheen character is used to promote the brand. Reckitt & Colman also sells leading furniture polish products under different brand names, in South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe it is known as Mr Min and in Argentina it is sold as Mr Frend.

The Mr Sheen range contains a unique blend of silicones, waxes and solvents

Specially selected citrus and floral fragrances are used in the formulation to evoke the ambience of a freshly cleaned home

Mr Sheen was re-launched in October 1997 to bring modernity to a well liked brand that was starting to be seen as old fashioned. This included a major face-lift to the packaging and a new direction in advertising. The re-launch introduced an additional fragrance, pot pourri, and a new trigger format to attract a younger, more modern consumer to the brand.

New graphics moved away from the brown and yellow, to modern slim line cans with metallic inks in bright colours. Mr Sheen himself was spruced up with a little more hair and a more modern slant, whilst still being easily recognised as Mr Sheen.

New television advertising was created to support the re-launch that strongly reinforced modernity, cleaning credentials and the product’s versatility whilst hanging on to the key recognition points for the consumer, the character himself and the jingle.

The Hell’s Angles motorcycle group once wrote a letter praising Mr Sheen for the way he cleaned their bikes

HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
Health Effects:
Acute:

Swallowed: Harmful if swallowed. Tends to break into foam if the patient

vomits. Aspiration into lungs may lead to chemical pneumonitis. Symptoms may include headache, dizziness,

fatigue and nausea.



Eye: Mildly irritating to the eyes.
Skin: Mildly irritating to the skin. Prolonged contact may cause defatting of the skin.

Inhaled: Harmful by inhalation. Inhalation may cause irritation to the respiratory system. May cause dizziness and nausea. Prolonged exposure to vapours may cause somnolence and narcosis.

Chronic: WARNING: INTENTIONAL MISUSE BY DELIBERATELY CONCENTRATING AND INHAILING CONTENTS CAN BE HARMFUL OR FATAL.

Repeated inhalation or dermal exposure may cause sensitization dermatitis, respiratory sensitisation, and gastrointestinal distress in exposed individuals.

First Aid:

Swallowed: If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting, give glass of water and seek medical advice immediately. Poisons Information Centre Phone 131126.



Eye: Hold eye open and flood with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical advice if pain persists.

Skin: Wash affected area with soap and water. Wash contaminated clothing with water and then remove, launder before reuse.

Inhaled: Remove person to fresh air away from contaminated area and seek medical advice. If not breathing apply artificial respiration and seek urgent medical advise.

First Aid Facilities: Eye wash station, safety shower and normal washroom facilities.

Advice to Doctor: Treat symptomatically. Extreme care must be taken to prevent aspiration. Gastric lavage with a cuffed endotracheal tube to prevent further aspiration should be done. In the absence of depression or convulsions, or impaired gag-reflex, ipecac emesis can be done without increasing the hazard of aspiration. When vomiting occurs, hold patient with head below the hips to prevent pulmonary aspiration.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE


Exposure Standards:
Aliphatic Petroleum Distillates 300 ppm ACGIH TLV
Propane (Limits in air) 1000 ppm OSHA PEL
Isobutane 800 ppm ACGIH TLV

No Worksafe Exposure Standard established for this product.

Engineering Controls:

Provide sufficient ventilation to keep airborne levels below the exposure limit. Where vapour or mists are generated, particularly in enclosed areas and natural ventilation is inadequate, a flameproof ventilation system is required.

Refer AS 1940 The Storage and Handling of Flammable and Combustible Liquids. and AS 2430 Explosive Gas Atmospheres,

for further information concerning ventilation requirements.

Nearby equipment must be earthed.

Personal Protection:

USE ONLY IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA.

Avoid breathing spray, mist or vapour. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and safety glasses. (Gloves: Neoprene or nitrile rubber recommended.)

If inhalation risk exists wear organic vapour respirator meeting the requirements of AS 1716.

Flammability:

Fire Hazards:

Extremely Flammable. Do not spray on a naked flame or any incandescent material. Keep away from heat, flame, sparks and sources of ignition. No smoking. Do not pierce or burn even when empty.

Take precautions against static discharge, particularly where a build up of vapours occurs to form an explosive mixture. Vapours are heavier than air and may travel to an ignition source. Ensure ventilation is adequate to prevent build up of explosive atmosphere. Refer to AS 1940 – Storage and Handling of Flammable and Combustible Liquids. and AS 2865 – Safe Working in a Confined Space. for more specific information on these subjects.
