Presidential Detailed: BMW K1200 RT

[Presidential_Detail]

This bike belongs to a friend of mine, he regularly makes trips out west just to enjoy the mountain scenery and twisties! This time around, he just clocked in over 7000 miles in 1 round trip! Needless to say, as you can imagine there was quite a bit of bugs, road grime, brake dust, etc. The bike needed a good cleaning, but since it was silver and half of the bike was actually a "matte" sort of finish, machine polishing was not necessary. I simply wash, clayed, and sealed the entire bike with Blackfire Wet Diamond Paint Sealant.

The wheels also got a heavy dosing of P21S Wheel Gel to remove the stubborn brake dust and tar from the long trip.

I removed all the saddlebags to thoroughly clean them as well as the part of the bike that is beneath them.
