If I did damage to someone's paint because i went through, I'm a pretty good guy...ya know...pay my taxes, brake for squirrels....I'd make it right. I know this may sound naive....but I was thinking....wow...some of these more advanced guys really seem to go all out with sophisticated devices...

here's what I did so far washed them with Reset dried them gave them a liberal coating with Mother's Aluminum wheel cleaner (first time I've tied it) scrubed them with the grain using a microfiber cloth rinsed them, dried them tried chem guys heavy duty metal polish applied and wiped it down...

if you send me the bikes, i'll send you the cages my friend :)

well, i'm here to learn fellas and by no means would suggest you guys aren't getting great outcomes i was doing what I was for a purpose, but I am still green and growing I am going to try some different lubes, and as well.....opie mentioned a point i need to consider, because i knew i was...

i mostly do bikes, McKee's N-914 1:128 ratio, one quart does an entire motorcycle, if I doddle, it takes me 20 minutes :) I'm not trying to be a smart ass, but hear me out at least I use plenty of lube when I clay bar, I do it by hand and even thought it's a quick step, i'm pretty...

once I clay bar a car or bike, I consider it to be dirty, and i set up and wash it as if it was getting a proper wash for the first time every bike and car I've done get's three full washes the intitial, a wash after decontamination and clay barring, and a wash after correction....once it's...

I'm just starting out with this as a side hustle my first job was a wash and some correction...i got $200 my second job is happening right now, an HD trike clean, correct, and coat....$600 i'm still pretty geeked about getting paid to do something I love to do, i'll get the money figured out...

that brings back memories, I painted in another life....I used to use a specific paint for trim....Benny Moore's Satin Impervo Oil Based....I had a formula and would add a very specific amount of thinner and conditioner....took time, and three coats, but the trim looked liked it was molded from...

I got a trike in the other night and fella is off to Jamaica. When i did some work for a brother, as i was getting it done, we kept in touch, and sent him plenty of before and after pics as I completed steps. He enjoyed the pics and it was a great way to keep him up to date as to progress, as...

sometimes people do stupid stuff if it can fixed, who do they have to turn to but a professional who has a handle on what a clear coat is and how to work with it? I love a challenge, but I'm starting to get pretty good at this....not sure I need the practice if you know what I mean regardless...

after it's all done, I'll pop under one more time, wipe it down with a prep and at least seal it this may be the only time that underneath gets this kind of attention, I want to send it off with a fighting chance at least

I turned this into this 2019 Harley Davidson Trike

my bike is a combo of two metallic paints, Deep Slate Candy and Arctic Black.....and my next bike, will not be black, or anything close I've done a lot of black, and what I tell folks is this...."I literally just did the final buff.....enjoy because it will look good for about 20 minutes." but...

2black1s is right, who cares about christmas, i want one of these now.....would be my first cordless polisher, that would complete me for sure!!!

when you say rims, they are made out of all kinds of stuff I recently did spoked wheels on '99 Honda Shadow motorcycle that were coated in cadmium....a dully gray metal i was very careful with those, so as not to etch or damage that cadmium at all as I've worked with chems it's a tedious...

i can get by doing bikes without the Flex, but i sure would have liked to have used it on a recent pick up truck I worked on I think the Rupes Nano Long Neck version is on my list this year. for the nooks and crannies of a bike, it will be a welcome addition to my small but growing arsenal of...

if I'm being honest, I do not wash new ones, but I do inspect, it's a small thing to wash them, but I've never considered it being necessary while we're at it, i'll grab a pair of underwear from a package and put em on <shrug> 52 years, nothing's shriveled up and fallen off yet as for the old...

not sure if it's just me, but I can't see the pic sir, was interested as a spectator only, no suggestions, just hear to learn

We had beautiful weather here in Michigan so when my customer dropped off this trike on Friday, I told myself I would not touch it until tonight. The last side job I did ate up a lot of my weekend and I was determined not to touch this and wait. There were cider mills in MI that needed...

looks pretty slick to me, great job I bought a new tour pack for my motorcycle and had it for only a month or so before I corrected and sealed my bike...despite it being pretty perfect, I decided to two step polish the clear coat...i was really happy, the difference was slight, but it really...
