I would recommend 3" pads for a bike, with the 3" Lake Country backing plate. Here's a cruiser I did a few months ago: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/show-n-shine/84487-2014-honda-fury-1300-motorcycle-3-stage-polish-cquartzuk.html

Alpha, November, or Sierra, Chief?

Sure am. Been here since January, trying to decide if I want to take a TRADOC Command before the Captain's Career Course. I change my mind every other day.

Executive Officer for an Advanced Individual Training (AIT) Company with a current strength of 436 Soldiers. Life is busy. :) My Soldiers are training for the Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) of 25B, Information Technology Specialist. Detailing is a side job, and pretty much only for paint...

That's obscene. Do want.

Same here. After an initial two stage correction, I do a lighter polish every six months to a year followed by a coating.

SF4500 is my usual finishing step after FG400.

Since this is the PC sub-forum, I'm guessing a 7424. ;)

Great work! What pad\polish combo did you settle on, and what level of correction do you think you got?

I've had problems with M105, but never M205. It's a bit thinner than M105, but not by much.

Make sure NOT to use a pressure washer. I think coatings really are the way to go for bikes. They can get trashed so much more quickly than cages, so that extra sacrificial layer is great. I typically do CQuartzUK followed by Reload. Another vote for not using any type of dressing on the...

Nice work! Love the random Remington 700 sneaking into a few shots...

DAT versus SMAT figures pretty heavily into this discussion. http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/hot-topics-frequently-asked-questions/23561-smat-pack-everything-you-ever-wanted-know-about-meguiar-s-smat-products.html

Bosch Icons, all day every day. Best wiper blades I've used, and last the longest.

I haven't had an issue on either of my personal vehicles, and they get Reload about once every few months. CarPro Reset has always done the trick for water spots.

Re: Mike Phillips - Vehicle Inspection Form - Version 2 I'll take the new one - thanks!

M105 runs pretty dry to begin with. If I have difficulty removing it it's usually becuase I didn't work it long enough. I've found myself using Menzerna FG400 and Meguiar's D300 a lot more recently.
