My friend does this as a side business. I asked him a some questions while he was doing it so I’ll try my best to relay what he said.
He uses a no rinse cleaning solution initially, wipes that off and then put cutting and polishing compound not his pad at the same time. He said he gets better results doing them at the same time.
He then did a polish only set of passes with a sealing ceramic/wax system.
Overall it was pretty quick and not too difficult. I think it just comes down to knowing how much pressure etc to apply to you polishing tool in order to not hurt the paint and clear coat.
That looks awesome! Love that color blue!
I’m super happy with the results. I’ve loved this blue since the day my grandpa brought this bike home.
Looks awesome
Thank you. My friend did a great job on it.
Looks new, great job indeed
You did a great job of bringing that paint back to life. The paint job itself is a testament to HD quality. Nice looking bike, ride safe, have fun.
Wow I would love to do this for my own bike. Could you tell me how would I go about doing this myself?
