  • 2001 Harley Davidson Electra Glide Classic

    I put about 12 hours of work into this bike, the bike was in pretty good condition to start with except for some mild swirls and tree sap, the chrome was a bit lifeless too.

    Started off with a good wash with Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner , clayed every surface with the Blue Detailing Clay (Mild), then #82 - Swirl Free Polish removed 99% of the defects since the paint was super soft, that was followed with two coats of #21 - Synthetic Sealant 2.0.

    The saddlebags, seat, plastic windshield, and the antenna were all taken off for dedicated cleaning and the saddlebags were rubbed out by hand with #9 - Swirl Remover 2.0 , that was followed with #21 - Synthetic Sealant 2.0.

    All the chrome got shined up with some #20 - Polymer Sealant, the wheels got Quik Wheel Detailer, plastic gauges and various buttons, and seats were cleaned with Quik Interior Detailer.

































    Never detail a bike without compressed air:

    Man, nice work Nick. Those things can be as time consuming as a full size vehicle.

      Yeah, and after you wash the bike and hand dry it and blow it out with compressed air for 20 minutes, water will drip from somewhere.

                    Nice job. That stand looks like a pretty sweet set up. Was that yours or the customers?
