And what the hell is waterless coolant 😂? Intrigued…

Strangely enough the Waterless Cleaners are some sort of specialised sufactant probably using nano technology - when you spray on the cleaner it gets under any gritty particles and lubricates them so you can just wipe it off with a clean microfibre cloth without scratching the paintwork. That said I never used it on really muddy vehicles but worked well on normal summer & winter dirt. I will use it on my 400 to avoid introducing water. Aldi sold some a couple of years ago but it was not as good as the better ones.
It isn't cheap and you get what you pay for as there are a variety on the market - Iirc it's come from the USA. Lots of haters but ideal imho to clean little used bikes and avoiding rust.
When I was in the car trade a firm was selling it to some Mercedes retailers in the UK a few years back.

Formulation is around 85% ethylene glycol with other components to make the total mix. That's for the "Evans" titled product.
Ed China used on a Triumph Stag as I recall, which perennially suffered from cooling compromise for users insistent in running them without antifreeze or corrosion inhibiting mix. They have a bad reputation for such a simple anomaly that could have been competently avoided with decent coolant.
Lobo:
Tips please for getting a tank badge off the old K2 tank. The first popped off surprisingly easily; the second is anchored hard both ends. I’ve not yet squirted anything down the back, but given the expense of these things coupled with it being the 13th of the month 😂 I’ve walked away for now.

PS - I’ve bloody given up on pic orientation - figure it’s an iPad compatibly issue? Apologies…
Bryanj:
Plastic knife or fishing line
Oddjob:
Fishing line everytime, no chance of any dents or scratches. I even use it to cut off badges that are stuck on cars with foam sticky. A little sawing action and off they pop, and you can reuse them after, unlike when you try and lever them off.
