    2014 bmw f800gt

    For whatever reason, I don`t take pics of the motorcycles I do - not that I do a lot of them. Fortunately, my buddy did. They are GS3 pics, though.

    A week-old bike that was flawless (other than being dirty). He wanted it with hard protection.

    Back under water restrictions, started with Dodo Juice Krudzilla and then did the main (rinseless) wash with Megs D114. As no polishing was needed, went to prep with Griot`s Paint Prep followed by Griot`s PreWax Cleaner. 2 coats of Wolf`s Hard Body on the paint and UTTG on the pebbled black plastic. Permanon Platinum on the wheels and any hard to reach or hot spot. Carpro PERL for the seat.

    On to the pics. Ignore the idiot with the MFs. (I really need to lose some weight. )

    Not a great pic of the bike but does include a gratuitous shot of the Audi.

    In the sun.





    Long time viewers will note the new garage floor. The bad part is that it needs to be completely redone. Ugh.

    Thanks for viewing. Questions welcome.

    Bikes are tough, all the angles and dissimilar materials, many of them easily stained by wax. The owner of that BMW did it right, getting it prepped early. Great job. Nice TT there too.

    Nice job. I did notice your floor but can`t seen any issues with it from the pictures. I love my epoxy floor. It`s been down 8 years now and looks as good as good as it did when I put it down. Love a good epoxy floor.

    Thanks WaxAddict and Gearhead.

    Was industrial version with 15-yr warranty. Started peeling under the tires in about a week. And that WAS with extra prep: degrease, acid etch, grind, primer, epoxy and sealant.
