Big "A" Detailing 02 Harley Davidson 1200 Sportster

[AndrewBigA]

Three Different metal polishes were used to bring back the dullness of the parts after the customer washed the bike with 409 Degreaser!
There was some light over spray on the chrome exhaust pipes & paint from the new paint job that was recently just done.
I clayed the tank & fenders twice,
applied some Optimum compound & polish by hand
then applied three coats of RejeX sealant to all paint work (by hand),
allowing each coat to cure for 15 mins

I started with the Wizzards first.

We'll get back to the metal polishing later.

Old socks are great for those hard to reach areas on a bike.

Shot of the metal after all polishing was done

The rims were not that bad, just the metal on both sides of the bike. The heads as well were extremely dull. I spent more time hand polishing out the dull metal than I did waxing & detailing the rest of the bike.
