Two days to a week depending on the type of motorcycle. I'm in no rush.

This type of detailing includes removal of all items such as side covers, seat, gas tank, skid plate, engine protection bars, etc.

The end result is a better than showroom clean, even on the ones that I use for multi-week tours.

On Baggers I remove the windshield, saddlebags, seat etc.
I don't normally remove the engine guards.

It can take all day if correction is needed.
