    Question Hard to reach places

    What are you guys using to get to those hard to reach places(motorcycle) to get the polish into and then being able to wipe it off?
    thanks

    I`ve done countless motorcycles. There are some areas that you are not going to be able to reach. I use APC and an air compressor to get those areas clean. As for polishing into tight areas. I use a thin micro fiber towel and thin artist paint brush. It allows you to reach into areas that normally you can`t with you`re hands.

    Disassemble if possible. Luckily bikes are pretty easy to work on if you have some (limited) mechanical knowledge.

    Tongue depressors, paint stirs and a spatula, have used them all on bikes. I hate bikes!

    If it was own, no problem, mine are customers in most cases custom bikes, this is not an option. I think for me there is to much risk involved.IMO

    I`m not patient enough to do that.

    Patience is a virtue, guess I ain`t virtuous.

    The Pimp Stixxx Component Cleaning set works well (found on amazon) - different attachments, angles, round/pointed/squared heads, etc.
