Google tells me nothing about this...what is it?
Cerakote Rapid Ceramic Paint Sealant. Just under $20 on Bezo's site.
It can be used as a weak ceramic coating by itself, but only lasts for between 6-12 months of real world wear. It is, however, extremely easy to apply, so a lot of folks use it as a topper... a sacrificial layer that enhances shine and other qualities of the top of the line ceramic coat it's on top of.

I used Adams Advanced when I ceramic coated the MINI's paint and wheels. I use their graphine tire spray like you guys. Currently as a topper I'm using the Adams Graphene Boost that came in the initial kit, I may try out the Cerakote topper once the booster is gone. I had been using Adams Mega Foam in my cannon, but it goes through a lot of it and it ain't cheap. I'll be getting a bottle of the Koch-Chemie Active Foam to try next. I generally do a touchless wash weekly at home, and every couple of weeks I do a handwash with the one bucket system (not reusing mfs.)
Speaking of Cerakote, if it hasn't been brought up before, their Trim Restoring wipes are absolutely insane. Oh, and Soft99 for the glass.
On the tires I just use whatever APC I am currently using and scrub, rinse, and repeat until there isn't any brown coming out anymore. If you keep up with the graphene tire spray it makes it a lot easier than the initial cleaning was.

Naw, she was cursed.... lefthanded.

I have a couple that I got for dirt cheap. They aren't molded to the gun, so there is an intense break-in involved. I had to put my G26 in a plastic bag and stretch it out.... it never really worked, and forget reholstering it without three hands.

And you left the license plate frame on?!

Wait, are you saying that sealed bearings have grease?
Dunno. Sounds fishy. OFF TO THE INTERWEBS I GO! -

Most straps have too much material between the hook and the ratchet unit. I’m talking 6 or more inches. You want as little length as possible if working within a narrow space. These straps placed the ratchet portion on top of the rear foot peg. Straps rubbing together against the mount point plus the ratchet unit tightly in place and moving back and forth. Never had this situation before, so I didn’t anticipate the ratchet cutting through the strap.
Which is why you buy the tie downs specifically for motorcycles if this is an issue with your setup. I had a set that was Kevlar reinforced and the buckle was super close to the hook. Worked like a charm.

Here is the current model of the frame part, it's not showing the bolt on part that the GIVI case clicks into: https://sw-motech.us/products/luggage/luggage+racks/STREET-RACK/4052572051177.htm

Is it the one from my old Bird? If so, yes. It's a SW-Motech top rack. Although you can't see it in the pic, when you use a coin or flat head screwdriver to turn the three top bolts half a turn, the top portion detaches from the base, so when you aren't using it there isn't a big flat rack left in view. It attaches by removing the rear grab handle and bolting in onto their existing mounting spot.
It's set up for a GIVI case. I used a few different ones, up to a 55L.

You can get longer hoses, and you need a chin strap if you can't keep you trap shut.

Re: compliance.
Usually it takes over a year to pay off the machine. The insurance wants to ensure that the $,$$$ CPAP they are paying for actually being used, obviously, otherwise they would just buy the unit for you outright. Initially it was an SD card that had to be read by the DME company. Nowadays the CPAP has a cellular modem in it that uploads your data daily. I have gotten emails from my DME when I've not used that particular machine recently to ensure I'm ok with it. When I would go for my CDL health exam I knew enough that they would ask for my compliance report, and so I call my DME company a few days before the appointment and they email me a copy of the current report.

I've had three in-clinic studies, and two at home. My first study was about 19 years ago, back when they still had them in the hospital. When I woke up the next morning I asked how it went, and the tech told me that the doc had to interpret it... but that I had it BAD. Normal people have something like 5 or so apneic episodes an hour. I had over 60 per hour. With the CPAP on I have less than three.
The first machine I had was CPAP... couldn't get used to it. They then gave me a BiPap, but the preset cycle was off from my regular breathing pattern. They said they would order me a ViPap. I asked to get back the original CPAP while I waited for the ViPap. All of a sudden I could tolerate the CPAP, probably because the BiPap was so bad for me. My sats were dropping into the high 60's without it. Insurance will have you do repeat tests over the years to verify you still need it. Usually they have you spend half the night without the CPAP on to chart your apnea, and then they put you on the CPAP and play with the pressure until you have no episodes. At my third test they didn't even wait more than an hour because it was very evident that I had it. The next morning the tech told me that he had never seen anyone fall into REM sleep as quickly as I did after the CPAP was started.
I'm on my fourth machine, and can't imagine sleeping without it.

Diet?
if it tastes good......spit it out!!!
Thank reminds me of the set the comedian Kyle Kinane did. He goes to the doctor and she tells him he has gout.
Kyle: So what does that mean?
Doctor: It means you can't eat certain foods
Kyle: Like what?
Doctor: Anything that would be served at a BBQ, you can't eat.
Kyle; So I'm going to die?

When I reheat food in the microwave I use the "Reheat" button, and it works great. For food out of a new box I go buy the recommendation on the box, then check it. Better to be undercooked that overcooked. I just wish my microwave had a 30 second button. It's only got a 1 minute button, like Dave's dick.
I don't eat popcorn after the "White Men Can't Jump" fiasco in Framingham, MA in 1992.

Lots of stuff going on... Buying a condo, getting a hip replacement, blah blah blah.

Anybody have anything other than a corbin. I now have 2 of them, so if you're looking for one... the Corbin is not working for me.
I have a Corbin on the shelf right now, too. I'm not going to be riding until next season due upcoming surgery, so you're welcome to try my Russell Daylong with driver's seat wings, if you want to pay the shipping back and forth.

Their "Wheel & Tire Cleaner" is the bomb. Even a lot of pros use it. It doesn't really have iron remover in it, but it breaks down everything else on the rim easily, and cleans the brown blooming from the tire rubber nicely. I buy it and their iron remover by the gallon.
Not by the gallon, but in regular sizes I also use their graphene tire dressing, which a lot of people love because it lasts a while and is low gloss. The only one I'd use instead of it is Darkside, but that's not Adam's. Let's see... I also use their Brilliant Glaze polish for cleaning the inside of the glass (NOT TOUCHSCREENS.)
I also am using their Graphene Shampoo, but that's primarily because I used their graphene ceramic spray on the car before the winter. This spring I'll be putting on a real, durable, ceramic coating. It's a little tougher because I don't have a garage, and most coatings need to cure for 24 hours without contact with water, and I get dew overnight.
