Clean Enough?
« on: March 31, 2008, 05:59:15 PM »
OK Experts!  Grade me!  Is Thumper Clean?

She was a nasty Girl when we got home from CHL yesterday morning.  Since she is going to sit for awhile, I had to make sure she's clean.

Mine isn't that clean on the bottom side.  How long did it take?

2.5 hours for the entire motorcycle to include detail.  About 30 minutes for the just the bottom to include detail.   Waited 24 hours before covering to allow everything to dry.  Took these pictures right before posting them.

It really isn't too difficult to clean the bottom.  Brite Max Grime-Away, a soft bristle scrub brush, a bottle brush (or one of those H-D wheel and tire brushes), Glare Ultra Wash, and copious amounts of water gets the gunk and grime off.  Detail involves nothing more than an old, wet microfiber cloth...........one you don't intend to use on paint, the occasional Q-tip, and a good eye...............which evidently is going south on me.   ;D

Not too bad. Looks like a little more practice and you'll have it. Come on up and spend a couple of hours on mine and I think you'll be there.   8) :cherry:

I had to think about that, Don.  I'm running Intel 8086 speed lately.   ;D

Henry, that's cleaner than my bike AFTER I wash it.  I'm afraid to look under mine.  I'd probably have to start with a gasket scraper!

Last time I saw the bottom side of your ride it had the remains of a dead cat off to the side of a drain plug.

What's goin' on, Karl?  Long time.

That said, last time I saw your motorcycle, it was mighty sparkly.  Sumpthin' change?   ;D

We need to coordinate another BBQ run.  Let me know.
