Echo03's Honda CBR 1000RR Detailed by Etiennè
Having never detailed a motorcycly before, I was extremely excited about this detail Upon dropping the bike off with me I noticed that Ed takes good care of his bike, knowing it'll be a difficult customer so satisfy. The bike was dirty from standing for a week or 2, but in general he bike was a clean example. Plenty of swirl marks in the paint was noted when he dropped it off with me. Upon closer inspection I noticed a ton of black spots on the red paint ( tar spots ).
Before
Ready for a wash
I washed the bike, including all the nooks and crannies. IronX and Tar remover had also been used on the paintwork. Afterwards I clayed all the pannels to ensure that I have the cleanest possible surface to work with. I had to hand polish the entire bike because my Cyclo Dual head polisher is far too big Here is a 50:50 shot on the tank
50:50
The paint corrected easily by hand. The front black section above the headlights was extremely dull before the polish, luckily I was able to mend that section. After the polish, I applied Soft99 Dark Fusso wax on the entire bike, dressed all the trims (exluding tires and chain), cleaned the Puig screen and mirrors with glass cleaner, treated the 2 seats with Megs Gold Class and pulled the bike out for a couple of snaps
Sit back and enjoy
