    Re: Autopia Guide to Sportbike Detailing

    Absolutely beautiful job.

    I don`t have the patience to do a job like that. Bikes are tougher than cars and that was complete attention to detail...

    But one question.... With the coating you said work it in over a 4 sqft area. So one spray shudda covered entire bike?
    Formerly the "Best Detailer", now just Super Wax Waster Man. Not necessarily tactful, but normally right. It`s good to be da King !!!

    And - hope the girl friend gave you at least a home cooked dinner!

    I believe the time spent was around 15 hours total, with taking pictures. I could likely have gotten it down to 12 hours or less.

    Thanks Pockets. To answer your question from the other thread, my old `05 CBR handled much lighter, likely due to the inverted forks vs. the standard forks on the 03. My ZX-10R is far more flickable than either. The only bikes I have ridden that can transition as quickly are the new Ducati Panigale and the 07 and up CBR600RRs.

A shot of WD40 or water displacing lubricant in all the switches can also save you headaches down the road.
    Excellent points!

    I want to say I used about 5 mists to coat the entire bike.

    Yes she did, she is very good to me!
