Blue Yamaha R6

Hey everybody, it looks like I`ll be posting a little more in the next couple of weeks...I just graduated in May and since then I`ve been working with an Electrical Contractor (He is my Dad`s friend and he`s been letting me go out and help his elecrtical guys do some work) before I go off to college in August...(I`ll be going to UCF)

I put the detailing buisness on hold because I really needed a way to make a lot of money before I go off to school, and without a steady flow of cars, its kinda hard to make a steady income! Well now that I`ve made a decent amount of money, it should hold me over for the first year (I needed some spending money for all of the essentials, aka beer, food, and gas

:chuckle: )

I did this R6 a couple of weeks ago for a friend of mine. He just drove it back from New Jersey and it was fairly dirty...

Process/Products:

-Foamed with Meg`s GC, washed with Schmitt/a lot of brushes to get in all the nooks/crannies

-Clayed the whole bike (had lots of bugs/tar from the ride down)

-Meg`s APC to the wheels

-Mother`s Metal Polish...

-Meg`s HD cut 2:1 for plastic/black trim

-Opti Seal

Very nice. I wouldn`t have been able to get it that clean. Pat yourself on the back.

Awesome job on the R6! I wish more people would post threads on motorcycle detailing. I have been trying to convince David to start a Motopia site or at least a motorcycle dedicated section here on Autopia.

Good luck at UCF, great school. What are you going to be studying? I worked there for almost 10 years in both Computer Services and then Undergraduate Admissions doing computer support.

Nice work!

Great work! :goodjob It really looks better than new. Must take a lot of patience to get into all those nooks & crannies.

Very refreshing to see a proper bike here instead of another cruiser! Love the color.

Very wet looking paint and the black plastic looks brand new.

I`m really not sure what I`m going to study, I was leaning towards some type of environmental science, but then again I dont know...Marine affairs, engineering, I really dont know

Thanks guys, this was my first bike, and it was definately a challenge...It took me quite a while to get it to where I wanted it, but it looks awesome and my friend got a free detail!
