Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
I did something to a bike I've never done before.....i renewed all of the plastic trim
normally, I can get plastic trim pieces on a bike really clean and looking great by just washing and wiping them down
I'm doing a '21 Street Glide and it had a plastic inner fairing, some trim around the air intake, and small cowl around the oil cooler
the plastic started out looking pretty great, but I decided just to do the cowl down below, if I felt the difference was big enough, I'd do the rest
cameras really don't do it justice, but it made it look better
the difference was so subtle, I hesitate to put a before and after up, but here it is
when my wife came out into the garage, she lit up and said she couldn't believe the difference in how dark, rich, and new the plastic looked
Before
After
I used Solutions Finish Black Trim Restorer

Glad your wife noticed so quickly as I thought that was an after and after photo set as I couldn’t identify any differences.

when I did the cowel, I should have left a section undone.....I need to up my game on lighting and photos.....i know you can't see, but I promise it's not a flea circus ....the deciding factor in doing it was when i read that it not only brings back the black, which didn't need to be brought far, but also protects

i decided to try Rags to Riches for cleaning my MFs...until now, i've been using Free and Clear and they have coming out good, but I'm seeing some others use products made for MF care and thought I'd try it

Were the results better and Free and Clear? That is what I've been using for years

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
I had the FJ in the garage, so I gave it an ONR wipe down, prior to giving the trim some attention. I wanted to start fresh, so I wiped the trim down with Carpro Eraser. Next I went through my shelf to figure out what to use. Do I want it to look good, but not last as long, or should I go for longevity over looks. I went with the latter, so I used Mother's Ceramic Trim Restore & Coat. Easy to apply, long lasting, but it doesn't have that brand new look. I did the ONR wipe down this afternoon, but while I was working on the trim tonight, we had a thunderstorm going on outside, I guess it's staying inside tonight.

NOTHING! Rain here too from hurricane Nichol. Sadly, moved all my stuff to the heated portion of the basement today. And made a list of must haves for next spring.
