Got most of one side of the rear ZX11 wheel polished, there's still the edge to do & a few spots of clearcoat at the paint transition. Paint is looking pretty good for 27 years old... That's not me, that's Gul Dukat. He rides a Harley.

Spiffed up the Camaro ready for selling.

Started to strip the failing clearcoat on the ZX11 wheels. Was intending to test a small area but ended up doing the entire right side of the rear wheel. It's 107deg here today & I decided the rest of the project will be done when the wheels come off for new tires. When the hell did Jasco start...

Pulled the lower fairings off the ZX11, cleaned up the engine, used spiffy new hardware when it all went back together. Not too shabby for a 27yo bike.

I raided my model making tool box for small paint brushes, I also have some foam swaps that have a Car Care label on the bag (they look just like Griots, but just two sizes, not five), plus the round detailing brushes. Even wrapped an MF around the handle end of a small paint brush. Managed to...

Doh!! I have those...

Case in point: The spaces between the letters narrows down to about 1mm on my ZX. ZRX had the same problem, but I removed the letters on that gastank. Not going to do that on the ZX as it's 27 years old & 100% original/stock... plus they're a royal PITA to put back on. Dental teeth...

This shows the shine a bit better...waxed it last night.

Last week...quick half-assed clean up. Will get the proper clean up when I have all the fairings off..

Fired up the G8 & removed about 25 years of paint damage from the ZX11 *before* After polishing, but before wax... this pic just doesn't do it justice.

Bought this home today. '95 ZX1100-D3. 16,238 miles.

Attacked the stubborn water spots on the Explorer ST... again. Upped the game to an orange pad & correcting cream on the G8... & then orange pad & complete compound. Might just have gotten them this time... but was beginning to think they were actually in the sheet metal before the primer &...

Bike is back together. Front of engine is looking quite spiffy. Sanded/polished some sand damage to the front of the headers. Before... After:

Front of ZRX 11 engine got a clean & some CD2, the stainless Muzzy exhaust got a quick polish while it was off the bike.
