Big "A" Detailing 06 BMW R1200 GS Motorcycle

i havent detailed in a bike in a hot minute so i wanted to share this one.
there wasnt much time for a lot of pics so heres a "quickie" with a few portrait shots of yours truly "in action" lol.
the customer requested just a wax & to polish all metal. theres so little paint on the bike that i rubbed her down a little but with some meguiars m205 polish. the windshield was really bad. meguiars plastx restored the clarity but a lot of scratches still remain.

..."i only wash the bike two times a year" !!

There is a product called "blue Job" designed to take that bluing off the exhaust pipes. It can be found a Harley dealership and higher end cycle shops. Of course it returns over time but for presentation back to the customer its the bomb

is that the white powder where your supposed to apply it with a damp rag?
if so, i tried it a long time ago but didnt like it. i keep going back to the blue magic.
 
Yes its what I'm talking about Andrew. I've had good luck with it and why I mentioned it.

I don't think I've used blue magic where is it found?

auto zone (flame suit on)

the blue magic has a strong chemical odor though.

i had a harley davidson dealership acct when i was starting out, thats when i used the blue job. maybe its worth another chance? i didnt like the whole damp towel + powder thing.

I'll check out the BM I'm always on the lookout for something for motorcycle (Harley's) detailing. I get my fair share of them.

The BJ is a tad hard to work with. I found you have to make it into a paste and that's what works best.

thank you steve. the bike loked really good after the detail. i hope the guy takes better care of it though. i tried to explain that 1 wash a week & a leaf blower should be enough to keep her in good shape till the next detail. lets see if he comes back.
