    2017 Harley Davidson FLXHSE CVO Street Glide

    Splattering a wrinkle black finned air cooled engine with compound from a wheel is a two hour clean up. The big difference with bikes is that if you want to do a part like a tour pack properly, you should take it off the bike...and you can't polish the most visible part, the top, without...

    2017 Harley Davidson FLXHSE CVO Street Glide

    I just hit 68000 on the odometer and since I've last corrected and coated the bike I've been to all of these states: Last time around I used CanCoat by Gyeon to seal it. It held up great for a about a year and a half, but 40k miles does a number on a bike. This time around I did the...

    '99 Honda Shadow Aero

    My brother's neighbor owned this bike a lot of years back, my nephew bought it from the original owner, and when my nephew recently acquired a Triumph R3 Rocket, my brother bought this. I took the tank and fenders off and detailed the frame and wheels. I used CarPro Reset for a wash. Simple...

    Spoked Wheels on '99 Honda Shadow - I think I have a job ahead of me

    Hello all. I offered to clean an old bike that has sentimental value to my brother and I'm looking at the spoked wheels both front and rear. There's no way I get these done without removing the tires. I'll have full access to both sides, the rotors will be removed as well I want to bring the...

    This site has ruined me.....

    buddy of mine has convertible BMW of some sort, little white two door......I casually mentioned that I would love a shot at bringing the finish back..... and with the look on his face, you'd think I just told him his kid was as ugly as a fried boot best to keep my mouth shut, I guess.....i...

    My G 9 is real fine

    The G8 works great for my Harley. I picked up a G9 as well because once I started, I realized that to do my cars and truck, I'd need the bigger tool. The G9 seems to be a bit easier to handle and I love it.

    New Jeep Color - Sangria

    My sister bought a jeep and I've never fallen in love with a color like this before. Wow. The color is Sangria. In person, it looks almost black. I want to polish and put a sealant or coating on that Jeep in a big way. Is that weird?

    This site has ruined me.....

    I painted when in college and for a few years after. The horrible paint jobs I'd see, especially by the DIY crowd just made me cringe sometimes. Nobody seems to understand in which direction to roll out a ceiling. I still look at heinous giant brush marks on trim as well as ropes or roller...

    does anyone keep a jump starter in their vehicle(s)?

    how cool is that, just last week, my wife and I had a nice dinner and on the way out of the parking lot, i saw a hood up, and could hear the sure sound of the driver trying to start the car with a dead battery, my wife and I hopped off the bike, and they were skeptical that the jumper would do...

    Impressions on what this is and how to move forward

    I've been working on my son's '14 Harley motorcycle. The color is Vivid Black. As you can see in this photo, there is some swirling, but no major marring and scratches. I did the following: 1. Washed with CarPro's Reset. 2. Clay bar with Wolfgang Clay Bar and Chemical Guys lube. 3...
