If you sat on that bike you'd be covered in silicone from all the spray he's covered it in, it looks like it's literally dripping with the stuff.
I bought a YPVS a few years ago and it looked really tidy, but before I collected it he drowned it in silicone and honestly thought he was doing me a favour because it looked all shiny for me to ride away on - it took months for the seat to stop being like an ice rink, every time I opened the throttle I slid backwards.

Spray it some parts of the bike maybe, but don't drown it in the stuff.

Agreed. It does look a bit syrupy! Silicon being grease does add some protection, I suppose, but ACF50 would do a much better job without looking over shiny! Mind you, when I was trading cars, dash shine was the flavour of the day on trim and puntes seemed to love it?

I used to cover my MX bike engine in it, because the mud easily washes off afterwards, but it looks like he's covered everything including the disks in it.

But yeah, punters seem to like it and that's why people do it I suppose, they see something shiny and assume it's better because of it.
