His bike got waxed (years ago got simonized just meant your car got waxed with simonize brand wax).
His wallet got sodomized.
Can't handle a wrench so one does not even change their own oil, I can understand that.
Can't open a can and handle a rag?
Or is to hard to keep it straight which hand is used for the wax on and which one is used for the wax off?

So I buy my bike and herd something about this simonizing, thought nothing of it and found out it cost me 668.00 when I went to pick my bike up after getting some extras like seat 4 point dock I asked if they did the simonize... he said the tech wasn't there and they would do it again in case he hadn't. The guy walks in the back and gets a little bottle about 3 inches tall about as thick as a fingernail polish bottle.
Takes 5 minutes tops and wipes my bike down with it and says ok sir its done????????????? I got hosed on that. I expected them to disassemble it and go through the whole bike with the stuff. I don't get it I'm flipping out on this. I love my bike but not getting hosed after spending 25000 on this thing.

They called me after I left them a pissed off message and they said the paint is warrantied for 5 years so I feel a little better he also said when I bring it in for the 1000 mile service he'll do it again and detail it no charge. still too much money but I aint giving it back

Yups, Sodomized is what we call it. The Auto dealer I worked for Thirty years ago, sold Toyota's and Volvo's. I bet their was only one in twenty that didn't get the "treatment". It was only a four ounce bottle of fluid that left a thin film on the body. When it did start failing and peeling, it looked like the paint on the car was throwing in the towel. I laugh at the thought that they still do this.
I purchased my bike at three years old. I sure hope the PO didn't have it done. He was a pretty sharp young man, and his dad is in auto sales, so I would like to think his dad informed him of this ripoff.
Best thing you can do now is forewarn other first time buyers of this.
