2011 Ducati 1199 Panigale - correction + Opti-Guard

That was awesome! After seeing so many car and trucks and boats being detailed to perfection it was very cool to see a bike go through that process. Nice job!

nice job for sure...How do you like your mix in the bottle? I just did a 2 step on my 12 S1RR Blue fire..BMWs paint isnt that stellar either. Still need to pick up my 1199s from the newport dealer..Its a little different then most 1199 ;-) Nice job again man..

Beautiful work Jeff!

That paintwork was jacked up something fierce!

Thanks Luke! The right side wasn't so bad, but once I got the lighting on the left side (where the lean angle with the kickstand makes sun shots near impossible) and saw what the dealer had done....I just "oh boy"...'twas time to get down to it.

Very nice, Jeff! That's a cool little bike.

Thanks Charlie! It was cool working on the top model current Duc (allowing exception for the 1199 S). Probably the most beautiful bike I've seen. Italian bikes

Very well written article. Great detail. My hat is off to you.

Thanks ww2717!

I very much enjoyed that, thanks for posting.

Thanks so much!

Pretty awesome detail, sun pics are hot!

Thanks Scott! The weather here in the Bay Area (northern california to those thinking Greenbay lol) has been incredible lately and the correction plus the awesome sun plus Italian Superbike..... I just went crazy with the sun pics haha.

Those bikes are sick! Customer of mine got the "S" a few weeks ago. One bad bike...

I think the "S" has the electronically adjustable forks and suspension on the fly. Incredible stuff they can do now! An additional 5k for the "S" I think...on a bike that already costs near triple the avg japanese sportbike. Its an incredible machine. Got a 999R that came in right after this, just booked a 1098, possibly another 1098 after that one, and a Diavel as well. Gonna be a Ducati Summer

that looks incredible and having owned and polished mine and numerous of my buddies Ducati's(insert most bikes here?!) I can tell you now that they paint right out of box is dreadful. I'm sure those of us that have worked on motorcycles would agree.

Did you get to take it for a spin?!

I was hoping for better, but we know how Ferrari comes....not so good either. Thankfully Ducati paint has always been very nice and workable.

I sooo wanted to take it for a spin, but that bike is so far beyond my riding skill. And I don't think my client would have been happy with that. I did ride it quite a bit in my head though!

That was awesome! After seeing so many car and trucks and boats being detailed to perfection it was very cool to see a bike go through that process. Nice job!

Thanks! Nice to change it up sometimes. Now if I could just find a way to detail the horse I ride.....

Thanks! I love the pre-mixed combo. I made 2 different strengths of it and it saves a lot of time over the course of the day without having to constantly reach for 2 bottles. My client told me a bit about the "S"....incredible bike, congrats on yours! You should post some pics! What color did you get?
