Honda detail

[Bob57]

2005 Honda Shadow Spirit.
This little scooter set in the barn most of the winter and man was it dirty.
Hand washed and dried with leaf blower, then APC and a lot of time with a VX5000.
Meg's 105 & 205 followed with M21 on all paint.
Disassembled the windshield and polished all the aluminum brackets.
Machine polished a lot of the chrome or as much as possible with a white Hybrid pad and 105.
Worked on it off and on for the last 3 days but that also included adding about 70 miles on the odometer :)
Oil changed, fueled up and ready for another season.

Tank turned out great although it took going over twice with 105 and a orange pad to get all the defects out.

That is one great looking Honda Shadow. I was "trying" help one of my friends clean up a rusty POS used Shadow he bought, and one things for sure, it will never look as good as yours Bob.

Thanks Ed!
But never say never.
I use to work at a motorcycle salvage yard and restored bikes that were considered to be junk or basket cases. You would be surprised at what can be done with a rusty neglected scooter.

There's a few used/reconditioned parts on my little Honda.
