Not sure what to do

[WAZIT01]

Buddy of mine asked me if I would detail his Harley (1998 1200 Fatboy BLACK.) I told him I would but I`m not sure what to use. Do I use the same stuff I would use on a car or is there a specialty product for bike paint? It has light swirl marks and scraches, some oxidation. I know it will take 7 to 8 hrs. What do you guys think?

I don`t know if bikes have clear coats or not. Besides the precautions you`d use with a single stage paint, I think any normal product would work. I just don`t know anything about the process (sealing off engine parts, etc).

you have to use P21s instead of S100. ;):D just joking. i don`t think there is anything different about motorcycle paint. here`s the results of a search for "motorcycle" (titles only) which might have an answer:
