Spray into the grips, slide em on, takes about 10 minutes for them to be stuck solid...  :daumenhoch:

If your riding it car lacquer not hair lacquer. One of the old school riders made the hair lacquer mistake last season and watched a grip come off in his hand after a slight sprinkling of rain.
If your just showing it hair lacquer is fine.
