Hi everyone! This BMW C1 scooter belongs to one of my Ferrari/Maserati customers and out of all of his vehicles he chooses this one as a DD. They say that fat chicks and scooters are both fun to ride, but just don`t tell your buddies... well I`ll admit it, I have been guilty of hoggin` before so sporting this puppy around wouldn`t be half bad... especially on the busy streets of Budapest! Anyhoo, this thing`s had some wear and general muck on it so it was in need of some Jesse Love! I gave it a good cleaning with Intsa Finish Super APC 1:8 then polished everything out with Insta Cut #30 and a 4" Scholl finishing pad. All plastics were dressed with IF Super Dress All and leather treated with IF Leather Conditioner.

The tires were dressed but I paid special attention to apply it to the walls only! You`ll lay a bike down with the quickness by dressing the treads.

Here`s some others that I did last week (minus a Alfa Romeo 159 wagon (wash n` wax) and a Mercedes C Class (polish) I did... didn`t have time for piccies :( ), >>



599 GTB regular customer of mine and I`m the only one who`s washed this car since it`s release from the dealership. It`s been wearing a coat of Dodo Supernatural and before I stripped it, beading properties were still very present... I waxed this back in March :). Long live Dodo!! The car was ONR`d, APC`d and clayed then another coat of SN was applied. Leather was treated with IF Leather conditioner and tires with Super Dress All.

Next up... the twins. A set of Volvo XC90`s that a bathe every Friday. Until now it was just interior/exterior for these adolescents, but today we washed, clayed, waxed and cleaned & creamed the leather. The wax of choice was Insta Finish Premium Wax (teflon/carnauba).

And this one Tic Tacs :)

The evil twin (the one that`s been to the automatic car wash too many times...) all cleaned up, too!



http://www.apolloauto.hu/images/long_19.jpg



I traveled for 2 hours (there and back) to do an interior/exterior on this one. My first Ferrari customer :). After seeing for himself that not all car washes are created equal (it`s been scratched to hell again by "the others"), he realized that his baby likes me much better :). This one`s wearing Zymöl Vintage, which I applied a few weeks back. It was riddled with bugs so after removing the collection and the wax with it, I applied Collinite 845 to replace the wax, but I`ll add another layer of Vintage to it next time.

Jesse, beautiful work as always!!! The south park pic was priceless!



Though I`d remove the tire shine from the scooter. Even on the sidewalls, it will bleed to the tread. I`ve experienced this. Not fun. As a rider, that stuff scares me even on the sidewall. Almost went down once from it.





The other cars are just stunning. You have such a cool job man!

Thanks Marc! I guess you didn`t catch the clause in your contract with Uncle Sam that states, "... once inactive duty requirements have been fulfilled, all weight-sanction breaches shall be null and void..." Kinda like one of those "crimes of passion" pardons ya know :).

Thank you Justin! Actually I go through about $15k because I eat a good part of them :)!

Always enjoy reading your threads, beautiful work as usual.



I agree about the tire dressing on the scooter, especially here in the sue happy US. You always have to cover your own ***!
