    Genevieve is coming - I`ve got too many products to choose from

    I`ve got a new toy coming by the end of the year. Just gotta wait for the factory to build and ship. I`m thinking of skipping a coating and just layering some different polish angel - cosmic spritz, gold zirkon, high gloss spray.

    Any input ladies and gents? Here`s a stock picture, I`ve been eyeing up the street glide for a long time. I got the go ahead from the commander in chief to add a second hog to the garage, who am I to argue.

    Great looking bike! You`ve got the right idea, just use PA products. Viking Spritz would be my favorite. You might need a fine polish first though. Hopefully not, but check the paint thoroughly. Drive safely.

    Aw man I`m jealous. High Gloss into Gold Zirkon sounds great. But I like rlmccarty2000`s idea with a fine finishing polish to start like PA Esclate or finishing polish.

    Oh yeah, it`s definitely going to get polished first. I keep telling the salesman not to let anyone wash her when she arrives. I`m gonna try my hand at jeweling the paint with the flex kompakt first

    The PE8 is a tough machine to jewel with since it doesn`t have a soft trigger start and starts out at 1300 rpm (that`s like speed setting 3 on a Makita 9237c). Most of the other rotaries start out at 400 if you feather the trigger and 600 constant on speed 1. I know you`re experienced with the PE8, but I would be super careful if I were you.

    Hmmm good points there! I have a Pe-14 but I may just do some regular polishing and not worry about jeweling the paint

    If you have a PE14 I`d use that for sure! That`s the mac daddy for jewelling paint since it`s so smooth and light. I`d put the extension and smaller backing plates on it and jewel it for sure. Wish I could help!

    How bad is it that I don`t know if I have the extension and smaller backing plates, I`ll have to look in a bit.

    You named your bike Genevieve ??

    I think I`ll name my Malibu....Lance


    I vote for Master final Polish or Esclate Lotion, Master sealant, Viking Spritz.

    I sure did lol, my other Harley is Haley, so now it`s gonna be Haley the Harley and Genevieve. I`m going to polish with either master final polish or esclate for sure, then it`s most likely going to be a smorgasbord of sprays - Viking spritz, gold zirkon, cosmic spritz l, high gloss and probably red opal since it`s orange with red undertones. I may also throw a few coats of centurion on top as well. I`ll never stop chasing the shine
