  • My First Motorcycle Detail

    So I've lost this thread 3 times, heres quickly lol.
    Custom harley from a guy who didn't want it washes, so I had to clean it using Last Touch undiluted. The entire detail took me about 7 hours. Using NXT 2.0 paste wax, a lot of chrome polishes and some SwirlX to bring a little clarity to the paint.

    Before:















    During: Washed, wax on, polishing












    Wax on, ready to polish just a little chrome:





    Reflection from the solid chrome real wheel, beautiful






    And after a long day on the floor!
















    My baby in the headlight












    It was a fun job, a riduculous amount of polishing but I think it was worth it . There was a lot of pitting in the wheel but otherwise, awesome.

    Peace

          I started at 8 and it took me about 7 hours with a few breaks. Oh yes, it was definatley worth it, but its so compact so you're not all over the place all day which is nice. Thanks guys.

          Peace

              Nice job! I used to work at a Harley dealership and I kind of miss it a little.

              I do like how you took time to polish the tip of the tips (nice short shots too), it really completes the look of pipes (even stock ones).
