Just another Harley, owner wanted it cleaned up a bit before he went on a big ride.
The owners main concern was that all the black brake dust was cleaned out from all the corners in the wheels.
I washed the wheels and tires with Deep Crystal Car Wash, All Purpose Cleaner and various brushes.
I washed the bike with Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner and a Meguiars wash mitt.
Even after the wash, there was still some brake dust in the corners of the wheels.
Before:
I cleaned it out with a toothbrush and All Purpose Cleaner, took a couple hours just to do the wheels.
After:
There was a lot of overspray on the paint, the owner takes his bike to work sometimes and his F-250 had the same amount of contamination. It felt like sandpaper.
I heavily clayed the bike with Detailing Clay (Mild) and Last Touch Spray Detailer at 1:1.
I removed a couple of random defects with Ultimate Compound, I polished all the paint by hand with SwirlX and numerous foam applicator pads. Some areas required several applications. I also applied some Deep Crystal System Polish.
I sealed the paint with NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0 x2, topped with #26 - Hi-Tech Yellow Wax.
All chrome and aluminum was polished with Hot Rims Chrome Polish and Hot Rims Mag Aluminum Polish. I sealed the chrome with some #20 - Polymer Sealant.
I used Gold Class Rich Leather Spray on the seat followed by a wipedown with a damp mf and some Quik Interior Detailer.
All cracks and crevices were brushed out with a paintbrush.
Sorry, didnt get any pictures of the bike in the sun.
