My first bike detail, Iron Horse

[crash93ssei]

Washed with Gold Class
Polished with UDM, LC CCS pads, SIP, and Micro Polish
Waxed with Fuzion
Aluminum and chrome polished with Mothers Mag & Aluminum polish with Mothers PowerBall Mini

There was some greasy spots on it as well that I used Dawn on. I thought about using my Meg's Super Degreaser, but I didn't want to risk damaging the aluminum.

I spent about six hours on this as I wanted to get it as good as I could get it. I was almost happy with it, but ran out of time Also, with this being my first bike, and the fact that it has not been detailed in a few years, there was a few spots that I just was not able to get from lack of the right tools for the job. Looks like some new goodies will be on order soon

He put it in the local car show and it managed to snag two trophies against about 15 other bikes. It took home Best Engine and Runner Up for Best of Show.


Sadly, I didn't get any before pictures, but it was pretty nasty. The rims were very dull and the drive sprocket was just horrible. I must have done a pretty good job though as I now have two more bikes lined up to do!












Here is the bike with the trophies



I think the one sal329 did turned out a little nicer, but hopefully with more practice on bikes I can make them look like his

Nice! I left a comment on yours last night, but can't see it now.... must of not hit the right button or something?

Very small hard areas to work in on these things, that's for sure!

Hmm weird... The areas are tight for my fat fingers and hands lol, I now need to pick up some mini ez detail brushes.
