    2009 Yamaha Raider

    So after doing my first bike last week, word spread and I got a call from an owner who wanted his semi-custom Yamaha Raider cleaned up. Owner decided to ride it home (about a half hour ride). The next day he said he received a few thumbs up and compliments on the way home. Music to my ears...

    2009 Honda VTX 1300

    I haven't done any bikes but a friend/co-worker wanted to get his bike prepped for sale and he had no idea how to get it cleaned up properly I figured I'd see what I can do and maybe get a lil bike experience under my belt. Painted surfaces need the most love, the tank was riddled with...

    What would you use to polish this plastic?

    Without seeing/feeling the material in person its hard to say but first thing I would do is clean it thoroughly with an apc or dedicated trim cleaner.......to me doesn't look like has a clear coated finish so I don't think it would polish out.....

    08' Yukon Denali detail

    Thanks....I do, usually because it doesn't take to much time to do, my typical customer doesn't expect nor think about the engine bay so when they pick-up their cars and I pop the hood you get the "wow looks like new" ......even though I tell them I'm going to do it prior to the job...lol

    08' Yukon Denali detail

    Yeah, I'm usually an FG400 kinda guy but the owner is a co-worker/friend who didn't want (nor pay for) perfection but wanted the swirls knocked down, and Fast Correcting Cream seems to finish down just a bit better than FG400 with MF Cutting pads... I was surprised as well with Mother Chrome...

    Drying Aid or Product After Every Wash?

    +1 I made the switch from D156 and never looked back. D156 was great but I would occasionally get streaks which required an extra wipe or two to buff. Never and issue with Griot's Spray-On Wax.

    your "go to compound"?

    Depends on the paint but FG400 when can get the desired results with foam, and Griot's Fast Correcting Cream when I need a MF cutting pad.......

    Is McKee's 37 Paint Coating trim safe?

    About to give McKee's 37 Paint Coating a run on the family hauler (2014 Toyota HL Limited) and I was wondering if this coating was trim save. Did some digging and could not find an answer yay or nay. My go to for trim has been WG Trim Sealant which has been good and last a few months but if this...
