2003 Black Honda CBR 600RR pretty sure it`s not ever been detailed

[Tru_Shine]

This bike was my first full detail in the motorcycle category. My client wanted it to look brand new, so I striped this bad boy down and got into the nitty and the gritty.



The bike came to me looking pretty good to the naked eye. But taking a closer look at things you could tell it needed some TLC.



Tools:

5gal bucket w/ grit guard

EZ detail brush, small and large

Lowes grout sponge

ONR clay lube

Automagic Red Claybar

Little tooth brush

Griots Garage 3" orbital

Harbor Freight Rotary w/ 3" BP

LC Orange,White,Green 3" pads

HD UNO

Megs One step leather care

White Diamond aluminum Polish

MEGS 105/205

Xenon Dual Swirl Finder light

BlackFire Wet Diamond

Dodo Juice Super Natural

OPT opti-seal (on the wheels)



Process:



I removed most of the body panels and the seats so I could get into all the tight places. I used my new Troybilt pressure washer to knock off all the bad stuff and used my EZ detail brushes to get in all the tight spots. I let some WD-40 soak on the chain and sprocket for a little bit to soak in and eat at all the clumped up grease. after lots of scrubbing I went back over with some degreaser to get all of the WD-40 off. I used the 1 bucket method w/ grit guard and the lowes Grout sponge with some RainX Wash and wax that was laying arround. After the good thorough wash and degrease I clay bared it With the Red automagic clay using the diluted ratio of ONR.



So it came to me like this

http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k126/ericwitt04/TruShine%20detailing/honda%20CBR%20600RR/IMG_3621.jpg



After the wash I pulled it in and clayed it

Now the real surface is revealed!

http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k126/ericwitt04/TruShine%20detailing/honda%20CBR%20600RR/IMG_3605.jpg



I wet sanded the scratches with 2000 grit paper and followed it up with some 4000 on my DA backing plate with the interface foam pad. I tried somthing new with my Griot`s 3" Orbital. I usually use my Pneumatic Orbital for wetsanding. but I wanted to know if it would work with the Griots orbital, and it worked AMAZINGLY

http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k126/ericwitt04/TruShine%20detailing/honda%20CBR%20600RR/IMG_3599.jpg



I tried out the HD UNO for the first time on this bike. I liked it, It was nice just changing out only the pads. After a few passes with the orange just pop on the green pad do a few passes with it then pop on the White finishing pad and wipe off. Thats alot better then compounding then wipe, change pad, polish then wipe, and change pads and finish down, wipe and then check it. BUT.......I wasn`t happy with the final finish after all that. so I would go back and correct it with M105 and M205. I also had to pull out the Rotary for some of those sand scratchs and UNO let me down on those too. So I am just going to stick with the Meg Twins.



http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k126/ericwitt04/TruShine%20detailing/honda%20CBR%20600RR/IMG_3591.jpg



Then after everything was polished down I applied a coat of BFWD with the griots 3" orbital w/ LC Blue pad



http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k126/ericwitt04/TruShine%20detailing/honda%20CBR%20600RR/IMG_3632.jpg



While that was curing, I polished out the muffler and all the aluminum pegs and brackets using White diamond polish.

http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k126/ericwitt04/TruShine%20detailing/honda%20CBR%20600RR/IMG_3624.jpg



After all that, I removed the BFWD and applied a thin coat of DoDo Juice SuperNatural.

[jtford95]

Very cool!! looks great. How did you charge him?

[MarcHarris]

what a difference, what a difference. Nice turn around on those small things that really will make a bike shine!

[Tru_Shine]

Very cool!! looks great. How did you charge him?





LOL funny you should ask. The normal total for what i done to his bike I`ll probly do for $200. Thats removal of fairings and degreasing the chain and relubing the chain with "Motul Road". and all the wetsanding, and polishing the windshield and reassembly of all the peices. But Since this was a good friend of mine and he was a guinee pig. He paid me with some of those Night Vision Goggles that came with Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Prestige package and some Cash on top of that. :woot2: :woot2:

[a_guerrajr]

200$ is still cheap IMO

[Tru_Shine]

:welcome I`m just glad You are happy with it! It was a blast to do.:hairpull:D

[white gecko]

Bike looks great!



I have a question though, you applied BFWD with a BLUE LC pad? That pad is for compounding, not applying sealant. Why`d you use that?

[RenuAuto]

Love this!
