Excessive Detail
06-04-2007, 12:07 PM
Hey guyz. Well as the title indicates this was my first motorcycle detail. I admit I was a little nervous to do it, mainly cause I wasn't sure what could get wet, but the owner assured me that it was okay. It was actually a lot harder to detail that I thought, mainly do to all the chrome, which was rusted in some spotes and green everywhere else, and it has been sitting in a garage for the past year, that amazed me. Anyway, here it is.
The Ride:
Honda Motorcycle
The Process:
Wash: NXT, Purple Power, Foam Gun, Six Gallon Bucket, Brushes, Cobra MF Scrub Pad
Clay: DP and DP Clay Lube, I actually clayed all the chrome as well as the paint, it really helped get all the green stuff and some rust of the paint, needless to say that peice of clay was no longer usable after.
Dry: Craftsman Electric Blower and MF
Polish: Optimum Polish with Edge Orange Pad and finished with Poli Seal and Blue edge pad.
Wax: The paint is a very dark purple, in the pictures it looks blue, but since the color was so dark I could only think of one wax for it, Pinn. Soveran, two coats.
Chrome: Eagle One Wadding Polish, I actually bought a powerball for this detail, but quickly switched to the eagle one, I found the power ball very hard to use. I coated most of the chrome with Pinn Soveran after cleanin it. I managed to get about 95% of all the junk in the chrome out.
Leather Seat and Trim: Lexol Leather Dressing
THE PICTURES:
Sorry no before I forgot my camera that day and had to come back the next for these.
