What are you charging for a motorcyle detail?

It's ok to wet those areas, but don't spray them with any force.

But, I haven't done any lol

I charge more for sport bikes. I find cruiser owners tend to clean their bikes more and other than the chrome it is not as much work as trying to get months of grime off a sport bike that has been rode hard and put up wet. Shaft and belt drive cruisers throw less crap around also. It is all a time thing for me.

I keep the bike wet the entire time I am washing and using polishing soap on the chrome. I only let it dry when I am using my blower. I then blow out all the nooks and crannies with high pressure air.

I am pretty familiar with a lot of bikes and the first thing I do is remove seats and fairings and so forth. ALWAYS remove the license plate. There is dirt back there just WAITING to turn to a mud streak as soon as the owner drives off.

Bikes are a different animal than cars. Hard to use power tools on, and you need a lot of weird brushes.

Are there any good detailers you guys know of in the Sacramento, Citrus Heights, Roseville area of California ? I've got an 08 Harley Street Glide that needs a good polishing/waxing/detailing. It has the typical fine clearcoat scratches. I'm willing to pay decent money to do the job as long as they know what they are doing and I can watch their technique.
If so have em call me on my cell at 916-207-0960.
