Another Bike!

[kirkatizer]

Corrected another bike today it was an old friend from school. So I thought I'd hook him up. Paint was in pretty bad condition and decided to do a 4 Step. Steam cleaned the paint then used a Nanoskin fine grade towe for prepl. I Started with the GG6 and covered what I could using a orange cutting pad with M101. Then I broke out the GG3 and hit the hard to reach spots. Same process followed using a white polishing pad for the GG6 and a blue polishing pad for the GG3 using M205. After that I applied some show car glaze #7 by hand. After the glaze I followed up with some Colinite #845 "I'm addicted to this stuff".

I then started steam cleaning the everything. He had some sap on the leather but the steamer took it right off. After the bike was clean I took a polishing pad on my GG3 with some M105 and hit all chrome pieces to shine them up. Then I went over the paint again with some Megs last touch detailer cleaning anything that splattered from steaming the rest of the bike. Turned out awesome and the customer was happy! Never needed a hose!

The nice part about bikes is you can really focus on the paint and take it to high level without spending a huge amount of time. On the other hand, most have *all kinds* of nooks and crannies with chrome and polished aluminum.

Great work on the bike. You really gave it some new life. When the weather clears up I'll be getting out to do mine!

Nice, wish there was more info on bikes, I come from a HUGE biker area and have been contacted twice for detail jobs. I have accepted them just waiting to hear back. I think I want to get a steamer in by then to make gunk cleaning easier. I ordered megs medium and fine chrome polish, interesting how you used 105 instead. I've been looking at some of the chrome polishing kits at caswell too.
