Another Harley

Dave, did you use a machine for any of the polishing and if so which machines, or did you do it all by hand? Looks great by the way. Very nice bike!!

Dave this was all done by hand, I really don`t see how anyone can use a machine on a bike, there are so many angles. Hardly a flat area on the bike, unless you have a 3 inch or so pad size on a rotary. Even with that the amount of surface area that you would cover is very limited.


I haven`t done a bike yet that I have not been able to get great results by hand using the right chemicals and applicators

very nice work. i think i can wash,polish and seal my f150 in less time than it takes me to detail my harley. i do have a griots 3" da that i use on it with the constant battle to keep the vivid black paint presentable.

Im not really sure how I missed this when it was new, but nice work. Ive not done a Harley or a cruiser in general since buying my Griots 3in, but its a God-send when working on my crotch rocket. I can see it being a useful tool for big cruisers too.

I think a 3" would work well for the tank and maybe if you used it to polish some of the chrome but I think a lot would still need to be done by hand
