I have Meguire's D114 waterless wash. Would you say this is okay to use? Would it be an bad idea to use D114 with magic eraser?

Looking for a little help here. I bought a can of Mother’s Speed Foaming Bug & Tar Remover (Mothers Speed Foaming Bug & Tar Remover). I followed the instructions on the back of the can and used it as a pre-wash. I sprayed it all over my motorcycle, before it dried I rinsed it down with water and...

Doing a trip from Boston to northern Nova Scotia and back. 1100 miles in so far. Hit a bunch of rain and there will be another inch tomorrow. Will keep pushing! It's diiiirty and muddy (again) though

I know right? Found this video of a more current Ducati Panigale 1199 vs a P1 and Porsche 918 racing down a drawstring. Skip to 6:40 for the actual race. Bikes have dirty aero when compared to cars so top end cars always start pulling. I was debating between the dragon or Nova Scotia this year...

Haha. It's okay. What your referring to is Ducati's signature trellis frame. They incorporate the trellis into the aesthetics of the bike. Most manufactures used to hide their boxy frame as it wasn't really pleasing to the eyes. I think Ducati was really the first to embrace it into their design...

Just bought her Saturday and rode her home from Ohio, through Canada, back to Boston. Went through 3 rain storms and 2 thunderstorms. 850 miles, 2 days. GPS took me off roading briefly and got mud everywhere. Gave her a quick wash, and clay barred. Gonna hand Polish and wax her when I get a...

I just remembered that I have some metal polish. Can't remember which type but it's for automotive application. Can I try that without doing more damage? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

So I should try least aggressive method first? Is Scratch X a good first step? If not, what's a good product that's over the counter? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

If I try something like Meguiars Scratch X 2.0 by hand, would it do more damage than good? I would like to try to fix it before taking it to a pro. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

I was going through the Dunkin Donuts drive through and I curbed my wheel while exiting. It wasn't really hard but the concrete curb left it's mark. It feels like it's "above surface" when I run my finger nail across it. I think these wheels are polished metal with clear coat over it. What's the...

Thanks all. I will keep these tips in mind the next time I detail.

Wow I didn't even see that! Touche Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

Its funny you say that. The S2k is one of my near attainable cars for the near future and I look at prices every 6 months or so. I just happened to look some up on craiglist last night and thought the prices went down. This one is $12k with only 45k on it...

Odd question, I know. Well there are LSPs that specifically target white and black paint. So I thought maybe there is something out there that will provide what I want. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

This is an unusual issue. I have a VW GTI in Pure White. It's the brightest white paint I've ever seen. When it's day time out the paint pops so much that it actually doesn't look very good and kinda hurt my eyes. You can barely barely see any type of reflections or details. My favorite time to...

I did a rinseless wash this weekend and I think it worked pretty well. It took me almost 1.5 hours. I did the 2 bucket method. Scratching is my biggest fear. Should I be using the wash mitt soaking wet or wringed out until its dripping a little.

I had the same services done minus sealant as RBMW and paid less than that, and we're in the same area but I went somewhere different. My car had about 1000 miles. With a new car, does it really take multiple days? I was watching them as they were working and they did do all the service given...

I think most if not all B-Pillars that are painted black plastic are prone to swirls like those. My current VW has it, my last VW has it too. My car is new and I noticed it right away. I've only washed my car 3 times and had it detailed once.

Hi RBMW. I'm in Quincy and into bikes as well. I do a couple track days a year. Absolutely love it. We might have crossed paths at one point. Where you from?
