SuperGlide

This newer Harley Davidson Street Glide was traded in at a local Harley Davidson dealer I do a lot of work for.
I was contracted to fix all of the paint and light touch up on the rest. It appears that the previous owner tried to
wet sand it, probably to try and remove the factory orange peel.
Polishing Process:
1. Compounded with Dewalt 849X Rotary with white 3" wool pad and Menzerna FG400
2. Second polish with Porter Cable 7424XP DA with Menzerna 2500 and 3" orange cut pad
3. Final polish was with Menzerna Final Polish using Porter Cable 7424XP DA and 3" black finish pad
*GG 3" Polisher was also used in some thin areas
to reduce the risk of going through the clear.
*I have done this process numerous times on different bikes in the past and the 3" pads seem
to do the best, due to tight areas and rounded edges.
4. Protected with DP Sealant
BEFORE:
Deep scratches, swirls and wet sanding marks...
