    Arlen Ness Custom Bike

    I was lucky enough to get a call from one of my regular customers who wanted his new bike detailed. I'd done two other ones for him a few months and ago, but he wanted the new one detailed before he went for a ride. It's by far the biggest bike I've seen personally. The bike tire is huge. The details on this bike are amazing. It has copper strips around the paint that was torched to change the color in different sections. He told me that this bike has about 700 different patents for the various parts. It was a joy to work on. Hope you guys enjoy.

    Process:

    ONR wash
    Dry w/ Guzzler
    WMF on all paint
    Jetseal on all chrome
    Remove WMF from paint
    Jetseal on all paint
    Remove Jetseal from chrome
    Remove Jetseal from paint
    Megs Leather clean/conditioner on seat.

    It wasn't really dirty and the chrome was in good shape, so all it needed was a sealant to bring out some shine. It took about 1.5 hours and I charged 85 and he gave me 100.

    Great work! I bet you loved all the chrome. Ehuth1, Supertrapp makes exhaust for bikes too and you are right; they sound wicked.
