'03 Harley Sportster, and 06 BMW Z6

[weekendwarrior]

Both of these were for the same client. I picked him up through the best kind of advertising; word of mouth.

The Harley had never had anything done to it. It was 6 years old, and in rough shape.

Befores:

I sprayed the bike down with P21S TAW. I then hosed that off. Next, I applied P21S Wheel Cleaner to the wheels, and let that soak. I agitated them with a brush and rinsed them off. I actually had to do 2 rounds on the wheels. I then foamed the bike down with the foam gun, and Gold Class wash, and washed with a microfiber mitt. I rinsed, and moved the bike into the garage to dry with microfiber towels.

Correction:
PC, 4" orange pad with SIP, followed by 3.5" white beveled edge pad with SIP, and finished with Z-AIO on a 3,5" grey beveled edge pad. I then used DG 501 with 0000 steel wool on the wheels. The areas that were too tight to get with the PC were polished with M105 and a foam pad. All the chrome got Z-AIO as well.

Afters:
Notice the depth in the fender:

The streaks you see are from the polish. These shots are after the Menzerna steps, and before the Zaino.

I used Meguiar's Motorcylce leather cleaner / conditioner on the seats and saddle bags. This is a not slip product.

I consider the helmets as part of the bike for bike details, so they were waxed with OCW.

Next up, BMW Z6...

I didn't get any befores of the Z6. It had 46K miles, and was just purchased. Once I washed and clayed it, I saw the usual buffer marks that are found in most used cars that are "dealer prepped". I mainly included these photos, because I thought it turned out well for silver.

Process:
Interior - vacuumed, pedals cleaned with ONR/Water mix. Interior, including seats, wiped down with Optimum Protectant Plus. Glass cleaned with Zep Glass Cleaner (Thanks Pats300Z for the tip on that). I used a horse hair brush in the vents and dash seams.

Trunk - vacuumed, and battery storage area wiped down with ONR / Water.

Engine Bay - wiped down with ONR / Water, along with the bottom of the hood.

All the jams were wiped down with ONR / Water, and microfiber rags, and a horse hair brush.

Exterior:
Wheels sprayed with P21S, and agitated with a Swissvax brush, and a sponge. I had to use Q-tips around the creased and rivits in the wheels.

I then foamed the car with the foam gun, and Gold Class soap. I washed with a sheep skin mitt, rinsing in my rinse bucket between panels.

I rinsed, and refoamed the car, and clayed with Adam's grey clay, and rinsed the car again.

I then dried it, and moved it in the garage for polishing.

Correction:
Menz 203S on a while LC pad, via Flex at speed 6 - 2 passes on the hood. This left it LSP ready.

I then applied 1Z Glanz Wax, and buffed it off with OCW.

The tires were dressed with Giovanna Tire Gel.

The top got 2 coats of Raggtop.

Here are the afters:
(Nice reflection and depth to the silver)
