  • Exotic on two wheels! Ducati 749R now with a Superior Shine!

    This was a fun job. What an awesome machine to work on!

    Read more about the 749R here - DUCATI 749R


    I first started with a very thourough wash to get it perfectly clean.



    After it was washed a close examination found moderate micro marring on the various painted and plastic surfaces.



    I used my high dollar harbor freight polisher and hit it with Meguiars #105 to remove the scratches. The finish was then topped with Meguiars #21.





    After a couple of hours we had a Shine worthy of this fine Italian machine.







    I am truly blessed with a job that I love. Thank you Lord!

      Nice work Joe! How did you polish around the Ducati stickers on the bike without ripping them off?

      I once put swirls in my paint just to see what it looked like.

      I don't always detail cars, but when I do, I prefer Meguiar's.
      Remove swirls my friends.

        The stickers were under a clear coat.

            Why cant more stickers and stripes be under a clear-coat....

            Looks good Joe, you may have to invest in a more expensive polisher soon for your business to grow.... It does look like a nice small size though.

              Fantastic looking results. The bike holds it own also.

              I think it is great for people to see that even with a less expensive machine. A capable person can produce outstanding results. Way to go, Joe.

                      Wowee

                      121 hp on two wheels. That's fast!

                      Now, I'm gonna have to run down to Harbor Freight to look for one of those polishers.

                            Looks stunning Joe, yet another fine specimen.
                            I have been reading a lot about meguiars 205 and 105, they seem the new "now" polishes to use.
                            How are they with regards to different pads combined with them?
