Lets hear from our Motorcycle owners!

I have a 2006 Streetglide with custom House of Colors paint with Spies-Hecker Clearcoat. I have been using all Meg's products by hand. I need some recommendations and tips for detailing. There are light swirls and a few minor clearcoat scratches the need to be addresed. a 6" orbital would be too big for use. Any suggestions would be appreciated

I have a 3" Griot's Garage Polisher that I use on my bike with Lake Country flat pads. I also have a 6" Griot's, some times I will use a 5" BP and pad for the saddle bag tops. I sealed the paint with Cquartz and that seems to help prevent scratching from the dust etc.

To add to my 1st post on this thread (http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/motorcycle-care/11779-lets-hear-our-motorcycle-owners-13.html#post642246)...

I just got my first BMW, a 1990 BMW R100 GS that I bought new back in 1991, back on the road for the first time since 2002. Other motorcycles took its place since then, plus riding the Alps made riding locally kind of boring, so I haven't put a single kilometer on this continent in about five years. But that is about to change.

It may look like a garage queen (thanks to special products that I use), but sorry to break it to you, its been on quite a few multi week tours.

The header pipes were off to replace a couple of gaskets seals and to apply a fresh coat of anti-seize compound to the finned exhaust nuts. While the headers were off, I buffed the blue and brown stains out of them.

I have one chain driven motorcycle as well and have had many more in the past. I hate having to clean and lube them all the time.

As for my shaft driven motorcycles, one final drive gear lube change is all I have to do to them every year. Ten minutes and I am done for the year.

I have two bikes I've got some pictures of my recently back-yard painted Triumph Daytona 675. Chose to go with the Gulf Oil racing scheme. Came out pretty good for a guy whose not a painter. I also own a Ducati 848 Streetfighter in stealth black.

Simply incredible! I've put far more than that on in a single day, and numerous times.

Sport bike for me :) Well if you can call a Ninja 250 a sport bike.
Love this thing, so light and easy to flick around.

That survey has no option for other cruisers than HD.

Sweet looking bike! I'll be adding a 250 to the stable shortly. I'd use Bouncers Sherbert Fizz on your green bike.

Thanks Ray! I really need to get it cleaned up for a toy run we're doing on Saturday. Sadly we're got high's in the mid to low 40's and we're into the low 20's at night. Going to be one cold wash, that's for sure!
Hoping I can do a quick one step polish on it to bring back some shine, then a coat blacklight, pete's 53, and finish it with V7. I absolutely love that Kawi green color, and with that combination... OMG!!! :D:xyxthumbs:Im the MAN
