Supplies needed |
Completed |
| 1 |
Set about a 6-7 hour block aside to run through a complete detail. |
||
| 2 |
Pick an area in the shade which is clean, level, and has enough room to move freely around your bike |
||
| 3 |
Put bike on lift or move safely into position of your work area |
||
| 4 |
Remove "attached" items. Bags, windshield, seat, and any other item that you can remove without taking apart the BIKE! |
||
| 5 |
Look closely at all areas of your bike, specifically looking for wear areas, lose wires, bolts, rub contact areas (bags rubbing frame etc), make note of scratches, abrasions, excess dirt grime areas, pitted chrome, rust etc |
||
| 6 |
Spray on Custom Cycle Wash Renew- remembering to spray directly on heavy dirt areas, wetting the entire area. Modest coverage everywhere else.(IE focus on visible dirt, and "Mist" the rest of the bike). Use the right brushes to get into hard to reach areas, between spokes, and on tires. |

Let stand for 10 Mins. |
||
| 8 |
Rinse bike down, focusing stream on heavy concentration areas. |
||
| 9 |
Add 2oz Renew Custom Cycle Wash to 1 gal water. Using CLEAN Wash Mitt, wash bike from top to bottom, rinsing off mitt frequently! After hitting the entire bike, remember to rinse and go back and focus again on the areas you spotted during your pre-detail review. After washing again with your mitt, rinse thoroughly. |

Dry using our CYCLE DRYER, or DRY CYCLE CLOTH. You should wipe off every part of your bike, drying as you go. If you see any concentration of dirt, go back to step 9, and repeat. DO NOT WIPE OFF DIRT WHILE YOU DRY YOUR BIKE! |

From Step 1 you should have noticed any scratches in your paint, abrasions, or bluing/golding on your pipes. Use Scratch Out Custom Glaze on scratches & clear coat abrasions. Use BLUE-B-GONE to remove bluing/golding anywhere you see it along the exhaust path. Use microfiber cloths to wipe when finished. Surface should be clean and repaired at the end of this step! |

Unless your an experienced detailer, start at the front and work your way "around your bike". Here you should be using NuVIEW CUSTOM PAINT & PLASTIC GLAZE for painted areas applying with clean areas of your MICROFIBER CLOTH. Treat your chrome surfaces with MIRACLE METAL POLISH remembering that wiping on and wiping off is not going to bring out the shine in your chrome or metal! Use a little muscle, focus in small inch by inch areas. |

Use Luster Lace Strips to reach those areas that are hard to reach, or have 'back sides" that you can't reach. Also use these strips on your spoke wheels! |

Step back and take a breath! You're almost done... Go back now and using your microfiber cloth, put the finishing wipe down on your entire bike. Wipe every possible area at least once, leaving behind a perfect finish. If you spot any area that is not PERFECT, go back and get it! |

| 18 |
Put detailing chemicals back in safe area (away from young children), clean your cloths, mitts, etc |
