This was one NICE bike, although quite neglected. Like the title states, this is number 112 out of 200 of a limited 100th anniversary Fatboy run. The saddle bags were removed to access the rear drive-train, wheel, and fender. I probably should have removed the seat too, but there were time constraints. The flame job was perfection, I`d love to own this bike!



Process:

1st had to vomit that this nice of a bike was that dirty

foam gun wash with DP extreme foam

blowdry

NeverDull wading cloth to all chrome for remove rust spots

Poliseal via PC speed 5 on paint and windshield

Meg`s Chrome wheel cleaner and soft bristle brush on chrome and framing

rinse - blowdry

Optimum Leather conditioner on seats and trim

Optimum Tire Shine on the sidewalls

Topped with Optimum Car Wax

I removed surface rust with wading cloth and then used Meg`s Chrome Hot Rims and my wheel brushes.




Excellent work and attention to detail ... and the end results look great :xyxthumbs



Thanks so much for the compliment and encouragement.

Wow, that was really neglected, but you made it look better than new!!



I wouldn`t recommend dressing the sidewalls in the future though!



Nice work...

Thanks, the owner said it looked better than when he bought it. I didn`t get any dressing on the tread and Optimum adds UV protection as well as keeping the tires from drying out if sitting idle. I`ve heard not to dress them too, but that`s not logical unless the tread comes up the sides like a sport bike.
