ediddy Posted January 28, 2013 #1 Posted January 28, 2013 Detailed my bike saturday. Was a perfect day, 65 degrees and overcast so didn't have to worry about being in the sun. I used meguiars motorcycle EZ clean spray and rinse but wasn't impressed. Still had to use wet towel to remove some dirt. Will try S100 Total Cycle care next time and see if its better. Removed the saddle bags and seats and spayed the wheels with Pinnacle Clear Coat Safe Wheel Cleaner. This stuff did the job. Wheels look like new. However there were several clumps of what I think was a glob of grease that was baked on the wheels and looked like it might have etched into the metal. Tried everything I could think of to remove, even goo be gone, but nothing would remove it. Took some Never Dull Wading Polish and it took the grease completely off. Then applied Detailers Wheel Glaze to the wheels and removed with the Mothers Power Ball Mini Polisher. Wheels shine like new and are completely clean. Then sprayed bike with Pinnacel Crystal Mist Detail Spray and bike shines like new. This spray gives the bike a wet look and shines. Use S100 Engine Brightener on the black part of engine and rubber and vinyl. Then used Meguiars leather cleaner and conditioner on the seats. If it wasn't for a few dings from rocks and gravel hitting the front fender my bike would look like it just came off the showroom floor. I enjoyed doing this but wouldn't want to make my living detailing bikes.
Barrycuda Posted January 28, 2013 #2 Posted January 28, 2013 Pinnacle makes good stuff. Before I was married I had a BMW M3. I used pinnacle all the time. For the convertible top I used aerospace 303. Still use the aerospace on my truck and bikes with rubber on them. I also use nevr dull and it is a great product on the cheap. Hey, wanna show us some pics?
