What to use.

[Excessive Detail]

I have to detail a motorcycle soon and figured I'd use a powerball for most of the hard to reach chrome areas, but of course I don't have one. My question is which setup do you guyz use or prefer, Mothers Powerball or Flitz, and what chemical is the best to use with either? Thanks.

I just did a Harley:

It was all Chrome and Paint. For paint I use XMT by hand w/ WG's finger pockets, CK VM, CK RMG, and Souveran Paste.

For the chrome I used Mother's Chrome and English Custom Metal Chrome polish. The ECM is more of a protetectant, and gives a wonderful slick feel, however w/ not a lot of cleaning ability. Mother's has great cleaning ability but maybe not as much protection.

I used the assorted Edge foam tips, they worked very well. I also use #0000 steel wool on some areas under the gas tank, (top of engine).

Mothers powerball over Fitz for sure.

get the powerball mini and some Mothers Billet, or English Custom Polishes (not sold at AG unfortunately).
