2004 Harley Davidson VRod

[The Guz]

Worked on my brothers Harley Davidson. It's a 2004 with 4K miles on it. He's done some changes to the bike after he purchased it from the previous owner.

Wash: Meguiar's D114

Paint Decon: Nanoskin Fine Grade Sponge, Meguiar's D155

Compound: Pinnacle Advanced Compound

Polish: Pinnacle Advanced Finishing Polish

Paint Coating prep: Pinnacle Black Label Surface Cleansing Polish

Protection: Pinnacle Black Label V2

Tires: Blackfire All In One Trim and Tire Protectant

Metal: Meguiar's Fine Cut Metal Polish, Wolfgang Metal Sealant


Rear Panel Before:

There are some very deep scratches that require touch up paint of he chooses to repair them.

Rear Panel after a compound and polish.

This is the location for the where the rear seat is attached. 2" pads come in handy.

After a compound and polish. Not perfect but much better.

Final reflection shots

I took outside for a few minutes and it did not take long for the Santa Ana winds to blow dust on it.

Thanks. You are right about that. The good thing is my brother was helping me out as we knocked it out.

Thanks. I will have to double check on the paint code. I get the feeling it is vivid black as I did notice exactly what you are referring to?
