Took on my first Motorcycle client today which was a very dirty and swirled 2012 Harley Road Glide. No where near as difficult as I thought it would be but had its challenges in the hard to reach areas. Kind of wish I had a smaller polisher for some of the tighter areas. At first I tried using my Rupes with a 6" pad but definitely found it to be too large for a majority of the bike. I ended up using my PC with 3" LC CCS pads which worked fantastic on the entire Bike.

I started by washing the bike down with ONR and followed that up with a mild clay bar (including the Chrome). After everything was clayed and dried I started the paint correction with M105 and an orange cutting pad and then followed up with M205 and a white pad. This was definitely the perfect combo for the Harley's soft paint IMO. I topped everything off with Pinnacle Liquid Souveran wax. No Chrome was polished as the owner wanted to do that himself to save some money. Enjoy the pics!

Very nice work! I recently did my '88 Magna with LC orange pads and Blackfire Total Polish and Seal. It left the paint looking amazing. But, if you get the chance, top one with Wolfgang Fuzion paste. Holy Crap does that stuff leave some gloss!
