Well, let's see... roaring around the country on motorcycles in the summer, hanging around the Daytona beaches in the winter, chasin' wimmins here n there.. even catching some on occasion. Amazing...
Haven't done a lot of recent detailing but there aren't many of these left running around so I thought I'd share. Abbreviated writeup, I don't know how some of you folks find the time. Since I...
Opti Coat proved it's worth in spades spending this winter in Florida. I originally tried it to try to impart some hardness to the super-soft H-D Vivid Black paint. It worked! Not only is it more...
I polish my aftermarket shields with various polishes and 3" Griots when it really needs it. I carry an 8oz can of Plexus and a couple of MFs in the saddlebag when on the road. Covering with a damp...
I was going to blast down from Daytona on the bike but brought my mutt down for the winter and didn't have anyone to take care of his furry keester while I was gone. Maybe I'll get him a sidecar......
I beat my head against the wall trying to get super-soft Harley Vivid black to finish without haze or micromarring. I borrowed an improbable fix from Nick Chapman and tried finishing polish with an...
Good idea to have the owner remove anything that needs removed.... seat, bags, console, side covers etc. Parts are pricey if you break something. You probably know by now but the covers simply pull...
There's a definite difference in paint on tin vs fiberglass. I'm betting you found the fiberglass side covers easy to correct and finish. The tin on baggers is formed and finished at the York, PA...
You're kidding me! I found OC to be the only thing that doesn't burn off the pipes immediately. Had it on the exhaust on all 3 bikes and it's still there 6 months later. Makes cleaning the exhaist a...
Armor All Tire Foam isn't something I like to use on tires but it works well on those underhood heat pads. Fairly good cleaning capabilities and it leaves a dark matte finish. If the pad is seriously...
Chances are those "fly droppings" are actually artillary fungus if you park near mulch beds. They appear small and dark brown and when fresh scratch off with a fingernail. Tarminator or Tar X may...
I was wearing Topsiders in the garage for their anti-skid properties but they were killing my feet and legs with poor support. Picked up a pair of these a couple of months ago, not particularly...
As mentioned, Westley's Bleche Wite has been the standard for eons. A wheel brush works for all but the worst stained white walls and RWLs. On the stubborn ones I use a brass-bristled brush and let...
Limited Edition and priced accordingly, basically hand-built at the factory by 2 guys at a dedicated assembly station and it has rust on the pipes!?! Sheesh. I always used Brillo or SOS on chrome...
